Regulation

We are monitored and inspected by our local Council. 

We are also monitored, inspected and regulated by the Care Quality Commission to
ensure we provide people with safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and
they encourage us to improve. Because of this we sometime have to share
information with the CQC.

Please follow this link to the CQC website, to be able to take a look at the latest inspection reports for all of our
homes, and find out more about CQC
