Care Inspectorate evaluations

Latest grades for each key question, from inspection reports published up to 5 May 2023. Each area has its own grade; there is no overall grade.

  • Staff teamExcellent (6)
What does this mean?

The Care Inspectorate gives each area its own grade: 6 Excellent, 5 Very good, 4 Good, 3 Adequate, 2 Weak, 1 Unsatisfactory. There is no overall grade, and we never make one up. A key question keeps its grade until an inspection grades it again, so the grades can come from different inspections.
