“All parts of the home were accessible including garden areas. There were different rooms or areas on each floor to help meet people's individual needs. These included The Wilton Arms – a pub which served alcohol and people could have a game of dominoes or catch up with others, a cinema room with large tv, surround sound and black out curtains.”
“Garden and sensory rooms were available. Both were calm and relaxing spaces with the garden room housing an array of plants and the sensory room had relaxing lights and colourful fish tanks.”

“Interactions between people and staff were caring, good humoured and personalised. People and their relatives told us, "We have some fun together", "I visit most days, staff are very good, never seen anything but caring and kindness" and "Extremely caring staff, always go above and beyond."
The outstanding leadership, was also a key finding in the report:
“As outlined at our previous inspection the registered manager continued to be highly motivated and expected high standards in the delivery of people's care and support.
