Care Ratings

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulates care homes in England. They inspect homes on a regular basis and complete detailed reports on their findings which outline the standard of services that the home delivers. These reports give the home a quality rating, known as ‘star ratings’.

The ratings are as follows:

• 3 stars means “excellent”
• 2 stars means “good”
• 1 star means “adequate”'
• no stars may mean “poor” or that the home has not yet been rated

These reports are available on the CQC website www.cqc.org.uk.  You may download the reports or order a hard copy for you to look at.
