From the latest CQC inspection

  • We completed an inspection between 28 July 2025 and 05 August 2025.
  • At the last inspection, the provider was not aware of the RSRCRC guidance.
  • Whilst the registered manager was unaware of the guidance, they were able to demonstrate how they were supporting people to have to be independent and in control of their care and support as much as possible.
  • People were not always kept safe from the risk of harm or abuse as staff did not always report incidents and accidents.

Inspected 4 July 2022; report published 12 August 2022. From the regulator's own summary (Open Government Licence). Read the full report.
