\n It had last been inspected in August of 2023, but a new inspection was needed because of the high number of statutory notifications the CQC received about the people in the care home.\n<\/p>\n
\n Inspectors found that the home had maintained the standards of the last inspection and once again gave it an overall rating of ‘good’.\n<\/p>\n
\n They gave it a ‘good’ rating for all six categories\u00a0\u2013 safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.\n<\/p>\n
