A HOME care provider covering South Oxfordshire has been rated as Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission.
George Springall Homecare, based at Oxford Science Park, is an agency providing support and care to people in their own homes in the South Oxfordshire area.
Following an inspection earlier this year it has been given the CQC’s top rating of outstanding, which is rarely awarded. The other possible ratings following an inspection are good, requires improvement or inadequate.
The award means that Oxfordshire is now better than the national average for Outstanding domiciliary care agencies.
Lawrie Stratford, Oxfordshire County Council’s cabinet member for adult social care, said: “The role of home care here in Oxfordshire and elsewhere in the country has increased hugely in recent years.
“As a council we pay ever more attention to the CQC’s results. It is pleasing to see we are ahead of the national picture.”
