CQC and Care Homes

What are CQC Ratings for Care Homes and How Do They Help When Choosing One?
Here at Jackman’s Lodge, as well as excellence in care, we prioritise transparency. On this page you’ll find valuable insights into our Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection reports. Our CQC rating demonstrates our commitment to maintaining high standards of care.

What is the CQC?
Choosing a care home is a big decision that often goes beyond an organised tour of the facilities. Understandably, you might need impartial reassurance about the standard of a care home.
CQC inspection reports are crucial for potential residents and their families. They help to make informed decisions about care options and are a useful way to gain insight into the quality and safety of care homes while also giving peace of mind.

The CQC Inspection Reports Process
As mentioned, different aspects of the care home are assessed. Inspections are thorough and impartial, and have been carefully designed to ensure the wellbeing of residents.
The inspection covers the following criteria:
- Are they safe?
- Are they effective?
- Are they caring?
- Are they responsive?
- Are they well-led?
Against each of the criteria, CQC inspectors will decide if the care home is ‘outstanding’, ‘good’, ‘requires improvement’ or is ‘inadequate’.
Transparency and our Care Home’s CQC Ratings
At our latest inspection, in August 2019, our boutique care home was rated ‘Good’ for all criteria. This means that our service meets the CQC’s expectations of high-quality care and is performing well across the board – we are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
