Social care services given new ratings in Camden

A pair of social care services have been given new scores in Camden in the past month.

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'.

Information from the CQC reveals two services in Camden have received ratings from the start of December.

Sylwia Care Limited was awarded a 'good' rating after an inspection on October 11. The rating was published on December 23.

On December 29, Youus Ltd was judged to be needing improvement. The service had last been inspected on November 15.

The highest possible rating is 'outstanding': given to organisations exceeding expectations. Meanwhile, a 'good' scores shows the provider is meeting the CQC's criteria.

However, a service found to be needing improvement will not be up to the CQC's standards, and a service given an 'inadequate' rating will ordinarily be placed in special measures by the CQC.
