Rating published 03/01/2019 about 7 years ago. The CQC does not re-inspect on a fixed schedule, and a home can change considerably between inspections. Treat an older rating as a starting point, not a current verdict.

The five CQC rating areas

The CQC rates each area separately. A home can score differently in each, so it is worth reading all five rather than only the overall rating.
