A Haverhill care home described as a 'hive of activity' has been rated outstanding by industry regulators for a second time. 

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has awarded Care UK's Cleves Place on Millfields Way an overall "outstanding" rating.

Inspectors noted that the home was a "hive of activity" reflecting the interests, history and backgrounds of residents.

One resident commented: "I landed in one of the best homes.

"I am happy here, they talk to me. I think they value us each in our own way.

"That is what makes it tick here, they allow you to be you."

She added: "To be rated 'outstanding' for the second time shows just how committed the team is and I'm extremely proud of each and every one of them."
