Councils are struggling to meet rising requests for adult social care support and some people are cutting back on their home care amid the cost-of-living crisis while "completely overwhelmed" family carers try to fill the gaps, the health watchdog has said. Issue date: Friday October 20, 2023.

A pair of social care services have been found to be 'good'.

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'.

The latest data from the CQC shows two providers have been rated in Haringey in January.

The Meadow – a residential care home – was awarded a 'good' rating on October 6. Its latest inspection was on October 30.

Another care provider, Ashness Domiciliary Care, was also given a 'good' rating, having last been inspected on November 16. The rating was published on January 12.

A service is given a 'good' rating when it is judged to be performing well against the CQC's criteria.
