Home care rated Good or Outstanding in Durham
16 home care services in Durham are rated Good or Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. That is all 16 with a published rating, too few for a fair comparison with the national figure. 2 of them have at least one of the five key questions rated lower than the overall rating, which the headline hides. The oldest of these ratings was published in January 2018 and 5 are more than five years old, so check when the service was last inspected. 6 home care services in Durham have no rating yet, usually because they have not been inspected since registering. That is not a low rating.

Home care rated Good or Outstanding in Durham: questions people ask
- How many home care services in Durham are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 16 home care services are rated Good or Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission.
- Is a Good rating from the CQC enough to go on?
- It is a sound starting point, but look underneath it. The CQC rates five key questions (safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led) and the overall rating can be Good with one of them lower. That applies to 2 of the 16 services on this page. Read the part of the report that matters most to you, and check how old it is.
- What does it mean if a home care service in Durham has no rating?
- 6 home care services in Durham have not been rated by the Care Quality Commission. A new service waits for its first inspection, so an absent rating is not a mark against it. Ask the service when it registered and whether an inspection is due.
