Understanding this rating
Plain facts about how CQC rates and inspects services, as CQC describes them. This is not advice and not a rating of ours.

What CQC looks at
Safe: Requires improvement

Questions you could ask
- Who is the registered manager, and how can families contact them?
- How do you check the quality of care yourselves?
- How can staff raise worries, and how are they supported when they do?
Questions you could ask
