Understanding this rating

Plain facts about how CQC rates and inspects services, as CQC describes them. This is not advice and not a rating of ours.

This rating is from July 2021. That is more than 2 years ago. A service can change a lot in that time, for better or worse. CQC decides when to inspect again.

CQC rated it Good overall. It rated “Caring” as Requires improvement.

What CQC looks at

  • Caring: Requires improvement

    CQC checks whether staff treat people with kindness, dignity and respect. It looks at privacy, whether people are treated as individuals, and whether they can make choices and stay as independent as possible.

    Questions you could ask

    • How do staff get to know each person’s life story, likes and wishes?
    • How do you protect people’s privacy and dignity?
    • How do you help people stay as independent as they want to be?

Questions you could ask

  • What has changed since the last inspection?

How often CQC looks again

There is no fixed timetable. CQC decides when to look at a service again. It uses the information it holds about the service and how much risk it sees. It may look sooner if it hears of concerns.
