Care homes in Grantham area retain ‘outstanding’ and ‘good’ ratings from Care Quality Commission

Care homes in the area have retained ‘outstanding’ and ‘good’ ratings following a recent review.

A number of Grantham area care homes continue to be rated as ‘outstanding’ or ‘good’ the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The CQC regulates and inspects health and social care providers, rating them as either outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate.

After revewing the information and data available to them on April 5, the CQC said it found no evidence to reassess the ‘outstanding’ rating of Gregory House, in Welby Gardens, Grantham, which was given after an inspection in March 2021.
