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 June 2022. 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 “Safe” as Requires improvement.

What CQC looks at

  • Safe: Requires improvement

    CQC checks whether people are protected from abuse and avoidable harm. It looks at safeguarding, how risks are managed, staffing levels and training, medicines, and keeping the place clean to stop infections.

    Questions you could ask

    • How are medicines looked after and given on time?
    • How do you decide how many staff are on duty, day and night?
    • When something goes wrong, what do you do, and how do you tell families?

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.
