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

Ashness Lodge – a residential care home – was awarded a 'good' rating on December 2. Its latest inspection was on October 24.

Another care provider, Link Community Care (Tottenham), was assessed as needing improvement, having last been inspected on November 9. The rating was published on December 23.

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.
