New ratings awarded to care homes in West Sussex
The latest scores for care homes in West Sussex have been released – with two services given new ratings.
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, Rustington Convalescent Home, was rated as 'good' on November 3. The home was last inspected on October 16.
Having been inspected on October 19, Fethneys Living Options - Care Home Physical Disabilities – another residential care home – was judged as needing improvement. The rating was published on November 23.
The CQC gives organisations four different ratings. The worst is an 'inadequate' rating, which ordinarily results in the organisation being placed in special measures by the CQC. Social care services can also be given a less serious rating of 'requires improvement' when they are not up to standard.
At the other end of the scale, services given 'outstanding' ratings are judged to be performing exceptionally well, and a 'good' rating means the organisation is meeting expectations.
