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 9 October 2025.
Last checked by Care Inspectorate: 23 September 2025.

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?
Very goodHow well is people’s care and support planned?
GoodHow good is the place or setting where care is given?
No grade for this question. It may not apply to this type of service.
How good is the staff team?
Very goodHow good is the leadership of the service?
Good
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.

Understanding this rating
Plain facts about how Care Inspectorate rates and inspects services, as Care Inspectorate describes them. This is not advice and not a rating of ours.
The Care Inspectorate gave different grades for different key questions. It graded “Wellbeing” as Very good. It graded “Care and support planning” as Good. It graded “Staff team” as Very good. It graded “Leadership” as Good.
Not every question at every inspection
An inspection may look at some key questions and not others. A grade stays in place until that key question is inspected again. So the grades for one service can come from different dates.
How often it inspects
There is no fixed timetable. The Care Inspectorate decides when to inspect. It uses the information it holds about a service, such as complaints, notifications and past grades, and its view of risk. It can also change a grade between inspections if it finds the grade no longer matches the service.
