The five ratings

Four measures make up the overall rating. The i beside each one explains what it covers.

Why the ratings are broken out

Most homes land in much the same place on the overall star: 69% hold four, and none holds fewer than three. The four measures above, and the detail below, are where homes actually differ from one another.

Staffing

Every home has a target for care minutes per resident per day, set for that home. This is what it reported delivering.

Total care minutes per day 220 target 222 -2 min
Registered nurse minutes 46 target 45 +1 min

What residents said

An independent surveyor interviewed residents here face to face in 2026. These are the shares who answered "always" or "most of the time" — 86% across all 12 questions.

Staff treat me with respect 95%
I feel safe here 95%

The lowest-scoring answer is marked, because it is usually the one worth asking about on a visit.
