How to read a record
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspects every care home and home care service in England. Each inspection rates five areas, then gives an overall rating. We line those ratings up by year so you can see which way a service is heading.
The five areas inspectors check
- Safe
- People are protected from harm and abuse. Medicines are handled properly.
- Effective
- Care and treatment get good results and follow good practice.
- Caring
- Staff treat people with kindness, dignity and respect.
- Responsive
- Care fits each person's needs, and complaints are listened to.
- Well-led
- The home is well run and keeps improving.
What each mark means
- OOutstanding
- The service is performing exceptionally well.
- GGood
- The service is performing well and meeting expectations.
- RIRequires improvement
- The service is not performing as well as it should.
- IInadequate
- The service is performing badly and the CQC has taken action.
- Empty square
- No rating was published that year. Most services are inspected every one to three years.
- –Not yet rated
- New services, and some that offer more than one kind of care at one address, have no overall rating yet.

What a record can't tell you
Ratings show what inspectors found on the day. They don't show fees, whether there's a room free, or how a place feels when you walk in. Use a record to make your shortlist, then read the full report, visit at different times of day and ask the questions that matter to your family.
Every rating on this site is the CQC's. We show it as published and never change or add to it.
