The Care Quality Commission has found the quality of care provided by two adult social care services in Derbyshire to be Outstanding.

Under CQC’s programme of inspections, all England’s adult social care services are given a rating according to whether they are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.

These services were found to be providing an exemplary service to people in their care when CQC inspected.

The reports detailing inspectors’ findings have now been published and are available on CQC’s website.

Deanna Westwood, CQC Head of Inspection for Adult Social Care in the central region, said:

“It is excellent to see so many services delivering care that is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.

“People deserve to receive good care that meets their individual needs from staff who are compassionate when they use services, and it is clear that is  what these care services are doing.

“The hard work of the staff working at these services is making a real difference to people. This is why we have rated them as Outstanding.”
