It is run by Legacy Supported Living. The agency has been registered since May 2018.

At its latest inspection, published April 2023, the CQC rated Legacy Office Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
