The Care Quality Commission gives ratings to care providers and other organisations across England. It rates how well the service is performing against various criteria – with overall rankings ranging from 'outstanding' to 'inadequate'.
The latest data from the CQC shows three providers have been rated in Nottingham in January.
Thistle Lodge Robins Wood Road – a residential care home – was awarded a 'good' rating on January 5. Its latest inspection was on November 15.
Another care home, Highfields Nursing Home, was assessed as needing improvement, having last been inspected on October 10. The rating was published on January 10.
Finally, on January 10, Mapperley Lodge was given a 'good' rating, with its latest inspection on November 15.
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.
