History with CQC
CQC registration dates from July 2018, so the service has been operating for around 8 years under its current registration.
CQC has published 4 overall ratings for it (2019–2022), starting at Inadequate and improving to Inspected but not rated.
The rating is 6 years old. CQC decides when to return based on risk, so age alone is not a warning sign; still, ask who the manager is now.
