Outstanding home care in Torquay
2 home care services in Torquay are rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. That is 2 of the 8 with a published rating, too few for a fair comparison with the national figure. They are Bluebird Care (Torbay) and Summon Bonum Support & Care. All 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 December 2018 and 2 are more than five years old, so check when the service was last inspected. 10 home care services in Torquay have no rating yet, usually because they have not been inspected since registering. That is not a low rating.
