Home care rated Good or Outstanding in Folkestone
7 home care services in Folkestone are rated Good or Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. That is 7 of the 9 with a published rating, too few for a fair comparison with the national figure. 1 of them has 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 February 2018 and 6 are more than five years old, so check when the service was last inspected. 5 home care services in Folkestone have no rating yet, usually because they have not been inspected since registering. That is not a low rating.
