Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 26 good, 6 exceptional, 1 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
