New ratings given to care homes in Nottinghamshire - including one that is 'inadequate'

The Care Quality Commission is in charge of inspecting social care services across England. The organisation judges care providers across various metrics – with the best possible rating being 'outstanding', and the worst 'inadequate'.

Information from the CQC reveals three services in Nottinghamshire have received ratings from the start of March.

Lound Hall in Retford was awarded a 'good' rating after an inspection on May 16. The rating was published on June 16.

On March 7, Stoneyford Care Home in Sutton was judged to be 'inadequate'. The care home had last been inspected on December 6.

Lastly, Maun View in Mansfield was given a 'requires improvement' rating on March 27, with the care home's most recent inspection on November 24.

The CQC gives organisations four different ratings. The worst is an 'inadequate' rating, which ordinarily results in the organisation being placed in special measures by the CQC. Social care services can also be given a less serious rating of 'requires improvement' when they are not up to standard.

At the other end of the scale, services given 'outstanding' ratings are judged to be performing exceptionally well, and a 'good' rating means the organisation is meeting expectations.

The Chad approached Stoneyford Care Home and Maun View for a comment regarding their new CQC ratings.

A spokeswoman from Runwood Homes Ltd, the company that runs Maun View, said: “I have been advised that we don’t wish to comment.”
