During an inspection in response to concerns

Most people using the service, visitors and family members that we spoke to said the home was 'quite good', that people were 'settled' and, in general, most were happy with the service, care and staff, rooms and food. At our visit we observed people interacting comfortably with each other, with staff and with visitors and saw staff taking time to talk with residents and visitors.

However, we were also told: 'A few staff are really nice, but some just don't care' and that staff were always busy. We were told that sometimes personal and toileting care was poor, especially when the home was short-staffed, that buzzers were not always answered promptly and that personal preferences had not always been respected or catered for.
