What Care Inspectorate says

Grades, not an overall rating

Care Inspectorate grades a service on a six-point scale, from Unsatisfactory to Excellent, for each key question that applies to its type of service. It does not give a service one overall grade, so we do not either. Each grade is shown below as Care Inspectorate published it.

The latest graded inspection report was published on 26 August 2026.

Last checked by Care Inspectorate: 5 August 2026.

Grades for each key question

Care Inspectorate grades each key question that applies to this type of service from 1 to 6. Each grade is shown as Care Inspectorate published it.

  • How well does the service support people’s wellbeing?

    Adequate
  • How well is people’s care and support planned?

    Adequate
  • How good is the place or setting where care is given?

    Adequate
  • How good is the staff team?

    Adequate
  • How good is the leadership of the service?

    Adequate

A service keeps its grade for a key question until that question is inspected again, so a grade can be older than the latest report. Where a service has not been inspected under Care Inspectorate’s newer quality frameworks, the nearest earlier grade is shown.

What the Care Inspectorate grades mean
Excellent
Outstanding or sector-leading. The service supports outstandingly good experiences and outcomes for people, and we can be confident this will be kept up.
Very good
Major strengths. Very few areas for improvement, and those that exist have little effect on people.
Good
Important strengths, with some areas for improvement. The strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses.
Adequate
Strengths just outweigh weaknesses. Key areas need to improve, and continued performance at this level is not acceptable.
Weak
Important weaknesses. Priority action is needed, or people’s welfare or safety may be put at risk.
Unsatisfactory
Major weaknesses. Urgent action is needed because people’s welfare or safety is likely to be at risk.
