Reading a rating

What Good means for your family

Good is the rating most services hold and it is a genuinely good sign: inspectors found the service safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led, with nothing that needed formal action.

Two Good services can still be very different places. The report tells you what kind of Good this is: strong on kindness and activities, or strong on systems and records. Our explanation on each page picks out what inspectors singled out, and any smaller points they asked to be improved.

Or stay at home with a private carer

Many people who look at care homes end up staying at home with a carer who comes in for a few hours a day, or lives in. PrimeCarers introduces you to self-employed carers you choose yourself: interviewed, ID and DBS checked, from about £20 an hour or £1,120 a week live-in.
