Inspection Reports
Social care is an extremely tightly regulated area.
Usually, the nursing home inspection reports produced will include an accompanying rating. This shows the CQC’s overall opinion of the quality of care.

The Five Key Questions Used By The CQC When Producing Nursing Home Inspection Reports
Nursing home reports are public and describe:
- Both good practice as well as highlighting any concerns the CQC have.
- Any evidence of a breach of regulations.
- Recommendations to help the care provider improve their rating where the CQC feel there is room for improvement.
The five key questions which the CQC ask of all care services are:
1. Are they safe?
Service users should be protected from abuse and avoidable harm.
2. Are they effective?
The care, treatment and support provided achieves good outcomes, helps service users to maintain quality of life and is based on the best available evidence.
3. Are they caring?
The staff involve and treat you with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.
4. Are they responsive to people’s needs?
Services are organised in order to meet service users needs.
5. Are they well-led?
Leadership, management and governance of the organisation make sure it’s providing high-quality care based around service users’ individual needs. Overall it needs to encourage learning and innovation, and promote an open and fair culture.
