Outstanding home care in Reading: questions people ask

Which home care services in Reading are rated Outstanding?
One service is rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission: Bluebird Care (Reading, Wokingham, Windsor, Maidenhead, Bracknell). That is 2% of rated services in Reading, against 5% across England.
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 Reading has no rating?
54 home care services in Reading 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.
