Outstanding home care in Loughton
One home care service in Loughton is rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. That is 1 of the 7 with a published rating, too few for a fair comparison with the national figure. It is Gemstone Care Ltd. It has at least one of the five key questions rated lower than the overall rating, which the headline hides. The rating was published in November 2019, more than five years ago, so check whether the service has been inspected since. 5 home care services in Loughton have no rating yet, usually because they have not been inspected since registering. That is not a low rating.

Outstanding home care in Loughton: questions people ask
- Which home care services in Loughton are rated Outstanding?
- One service is rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission: Gemstone Care Ltd.
- Is an Outstanding 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 Outstanding with one of them lower. That applies to the service 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 Loughton has no rating?
- 5 home care services in Loughton 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.
