Skirbeck Court over the years

CQC has published 3 overall ratings for it (2015–2019), starting at Good and staying Good every time.
No new overall rating has been published for 6 years. CQC re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating is not a bad sign in itself, but staff and management may have changed.
