NORTH Yorkshire is home to many care homes all competing to provide the best care for those who need it, but which "require improvement"?

According to CQC reports dating from 2020 to 2021, 19 care homes in North Yorkshire were rated as requiring improvement in multiple areas.

The CQC monitors and rates care homes across the country assessing them on five different aspects, such as safety, effectiveness, care, responsiveness, and whether a care home is well-led.

The care home is then given a rating out of four consisting of inadequate, requires improvement, good and outstanding.

Below is a list of care homes that “required improvement” overall and on various different aspects which are shown in the brackets.

Only one care home scored an inadequate rating on one aspect of service, showing the high standard of care home service in North Yorkshire.
