PICTURED: all the care homes in Chesterfield rated as requiring improvement

The CQC inspects residential care homes and nursing homes and rates them on five criteria: how safe they are, how effective they are, how caring the service is, how responsive the service is, and how well-led they are.

Pictured here are the 14 care homes that, as of May 30, are listed by the CQC as having an overall rating of ‘requiring improvement’.

Typically where a premises is rated as requiring improvement a re-inspection will take place within 12 months.

Not included on the list are Grove House and Elmwood House – both of which have confirmed to the Derbyshire Times that they are closing down.
