Llysfaen Residential/Respite Home food hygiene rating
Caring Premises · Merthyr Tydfil
Llysfaen Residential/Respite Home holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The care premises met the legal standard, but the inspector recorded enough minor issues that it fell short of a good or very good rating.
The rating: 3 - Generally satisfactory

What the inspector found
