It is registered for up to 16 residents and supports older people, people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.

CQC rated it Requires improvement overall in September 2019. It was rated Good for caring and responsive. This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. Across Buckinghamshire, 71% of the 115 rated care homes are Good or Outstanding. The rating is 7 years old. CQC decides when to re-inspect based on risk, so this isn't a mark against the home, but it's worth asking what has changed since.
