Monitoring quality
The council routinely monitors care homes and home care services every year. If we have concerns or if it is a new service or home we visit more frequently.
The council maintains a quality improvement list which logs providers about which there are quality concerns. The council works with the provider on improvement plans.
If you are interested in using a particular service you can ask the council about it to make sure it is of good quality.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) also inspects care homes and care services. You can search for reports for Slough on the CQC website.
