Where these ratings come from
CQC publishes ratings some weeks after an inspection. We check the CQC register for every care home and home care agency in England about daily, and record each new rating alongside the previous one. When the new rating is lower than at the previous inspection, we call it a downgrade. What CQC ratings mean · New registrations · Care Fees and Quality Index
