Care homes given new ratings in South Gloucestershire
A pair of care homes have been given new scores in South Gloucestershire 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'.

A care home, Stanshawes Care Home, was rated as 'good' on September 6. The home was last inspected on July 20.
Having been inspected on July 14, Avonmere Care Home – another residential care home – was judged as needing improvement. The rating was published on September 14.
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.
