Hide AdInformation from the CQC reveals two services in Bury have received ratings from the start of September.
Moorfields Care Home was awarded a 'good' rating after an inspection on August 23. The rating was published on September 19.
On September 29, Bank House Care Home was judged to be 'inadequate'. The care home had last been inspected on July 10.
The CQC gives organisations four different ratings. The worst is an 'inadequate' rating, which ordinarily results in the organisation being placed in special measures by the CQC. Social care services can also be given a less serious rating of 'requires improvement' when they are not up to standard.
At the other end of the scale, services given 'outstanding' ratings are judged to be performing exceptionally well, and a 'good' rating means the organisation is meeting expectations.
