The CQC is the regulator that inspects care homes to ensure they are meeting required levels of care. Once inspected the homes are giving a rating of either ‘outstanding’, ‘good’, ‘requires improvement’ or ‘inadequate’.
To determine the overall rating, CQC inspectors look at whether the service is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, ranking each individually.
Included in the care homes is a mix of nursing and residential homes, some of which are specialised in giving care to specific disabilities or illnesses. We have looked at the CQC ratings in the area and highlighted the ones listed as ‘outstanding’ and the ones listed ‘inadequate’.
Here are seven of the best and worst rated care homes in the Portsmouth area:
