Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
Response by White Hill House to this inspection report:
CQC is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. In Feb 2020 CQC Inspected White Hill House, our overall rating was: Requires Improvement, we acknowledged at the time we had work to be done. We created an action plan, addressing our shortfalls, this action plan was fully completed. The main concern was the need for a new fire panel, while ours was working, it was not up to L2 regulations. If you would like a copy of our action plan, please contact us and we are very happy to share what we have done. We have not been inspected since, so our rating has not yet been re-assessed.
