In the past week the Care Quality Commission has published a further 23 reports on the quality of care provided by adult social care services across London.
Following recent inspections, 9 of these care homes and homecare agencies have been rated as Good, 9 have been rated Requires Improvement and five have been rated Inadequate.
Under CQC’s new programme of inspections, all of England’s adult social care services are being given a rating according to whether they are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led.
Sally Warren, CQC's Deputy Chief Inspector for Adult Social Care, said:
"People are entitled to services which provide safe, effective, compassionate and high quality care, and people should be confident that their local social care providers will ensure this. If that is what we find during an inspection - we give a rating of Good, or Outstanding.
"If we find that a service requires improvement, we will expect them to deliver a full plan setting out how they will address the issues that have been identified. We will share our findings with local commissioners, and we will return in due course to check that the required improvements have been made.
"Whenever we find a service to be inadequate, we will consider taking further action on behalf of the people who use the service."
Full reports on all 23 inspections are available on this website.
