What makes good care?
Safe, effective, high-quality care: what you can expect from a good care service.
How we can help
We're here to help. When we inspect health and social care services, we give them ratings and publish reports about them – information you can use when you're choosing care.
You can use our website to search for the services you use, find out how they are performing and read reports from our inspectors.
In this section, you'll also find information to help you research care services – from how to recognise good care to where you can go to find out more.
