Isle of Wight care home, Solent Grange, which at the beginning of the year was rated as ‘Inadequate’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has today released their latest report for the provider.
The latest report finds the care home to have moved out of ‘Inadequate’ status and now rated as ‘Requires Improvement’.
The care home has improved considerably over the last ten months, now rated as ‘Good’ for Effective, Caring and Responsive service.
Improvement is required at Solent Grange to ensure the service is Safe and Well-Led.
People entitled high quality care
Deborah Ivanova, CQC’s Interim Deputy Chief Inspector for Adult Social Care, said:
“People are entitled to services which provide safe, effective, compassionate and high quality care. We assess services against five key questions – Is the service caring? Is the service effective? Is the service safe? Is the service well led? Is the service responsive? – and rate each question and the service overall. Where we find a service meets our characteristics of good or outstanding then we will rate accordingly.
“If we find that a service requires improvement, we will expect them to provide us with a full plan setting out how they will address the issue. We will share our findings with local commissioners, and we will return in due course to check that they have made the required improvements.
“Whenever we find a service to be Inadequate, we will consider taking further action on behalf of the people who use the service. Providers of those services should take the publication of the inadequate rating as a signal that immediate action is required to improve the service.”
