How CQC ratings work

The Care Quality Commission inspects every registered care home in England and rates it on five questions: is it safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well-led? Each earns one of four ratings — Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement, or Inadequate — plus an overall rating.

CareMapped shows all five ratings for every home, not just the headline — because a home that is “Good” overall but “Requires improvement” on safety is worth a closer look. Our care guides explain how to choose a home, pay for care, and what to expect to pay in the North East.
