11 Lancashire care homes given new ratings by Care Quality Commission- with one rated 'inadequate'

The highest possible rating is 'outstanding'.

The latest scores for social care services in Lancashire have been released.

The Care Quality Commission gives ratings to care providers and other organisations across England.

It rates how well the service is performing against various criteria – with overall rankings ranging from 'outstanding' to 'inadequate'.

The highest possible rating is 'outstanding' which is given to organisations exceeding expectations.

Meanwhile, a 'good' score shows the provider is meeting the CQC's criteria.

However, a service found to be needing improvement will not be up to the CQC's standards, and a service given an 'inadequate' rating will ordinarily be placed in special measures by the CQC.

Figures for the last month show ratings were given to 11 care homes in Lancashire.
