Introducing the new CSCI 'star ratings' for care homes

The Commission for Social care Inspection (CSCI) inspects and regulates all care homes in England. From Spring 2008, they have begun to publish overall quality ratings for care homes, known as 'star ratings'. Not all homes have been given a rating yet. BUPA strongly supports this new rating system. The inspection process and the new ratings will be based on national minimum standards grouped into seven categories: - Choice of home, Daily life and social activities, Health and personal care, Complaints and protection, Environment, Staffing, Management and administration.

The new CSCI star ratings

3 stars will mean 'excellent'
2 stars will mean 'good'
1 star will mean 'adequate'
No stars will mean 'poor' (or may mean it has not yet been rated)
