It has 7 registered beds and supports people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment.

CQC rated it Good overall in December 2019, and Good in all five key questions. Across Essex, 83% of the 369 rated care homes are Good or Outstanding. The rating is 6 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.
