Care Quality Commission rates adult social care 'good' in Burnham-on-Sea, Wiltshire, Northumberland

Recent inspections by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) have yielded 'Good' ratings for adult social care services across several regions in England. Beaufort House in Burnham-on-Sea received praise for its safe and well-maintained facilities, compassionate staff, and effective medication management, though food choices received mixed reviews. Wiltshire Council was recognized for its commitment to improving independence for residents, with a focus on reablement services, while also being encouraged to enhance engagement with diverse communities. Northumberland's adult social care was rated as 'Good' overall, though it faced challenges related to workforce pressures and the need for better experiences for unpaid carers. Officials in these areas expressed pride in the positive feedback from residents and their commitment to continuous improvement in care services. The CQC's findings reflect a broader trend of striving for high standards in adult social care across the UK.
