The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the public body responsible for regulating and inspecting health and social care providers. It provides care homes across the country with an overall judgement after an inspection, with possible ratings including outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate.
In Liverpool, 21 care homes and residential homes are rated as ‘requires improvement’, and two have been given the lowest rating of ‘inadequate’.
To reach an overall rating, CQC inspectors consider the key questions of whether the service is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led - with each of these categories also receiving an individual verdict.
Below are all the care homes in Liverpool which currently* have an overall CQC rating of ‘requires improvement’ or ‘inadequate’. They are listed in alphabetical order.*Information correct as of October 23, 2024. Accessed via the official CQC site.
