During an inspection in response to concerns
not been visited since 15 December 2008.
We spoke to some people who were living at Vinegar House during our visit to obtain their views on the care and support they received. We were told 'Everybody's really friendly and they are kind to me. The staff do everything I need them to.' Another person said 'I like it here, the staff all look after me and I think I'll be ready to move on soon.'
The people we spoke to indicated they could go out and about as much as they wanted, although they were encouraged to return to the home by a set time. We saw that some people were engaged in a variety of activities such as walking, attending a local day centre and playing sports.
