A care home has been found to be 'good' in Bolton.

The Care Quality Commission is in charge of inspecting social care services across England. The organisation judges care providers across various metrics – with the best possible rating being 'outstanding', and the worst 'inadequate'.

The latest batch of ratings from the CQC show a care home, The Old Vicarage, was rated as 'good' on January 17. The home was last inspected on November 30.

A 'good' score means the provider is meeting expectations.
