A number of care homes across the North East have been ordered to improve.
Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. They carry out inspections at care facilities across the region including care homes, GP services and hospitals.
After inspecting the premises, they publish reports about the service and rate their performance. They are given a rating of 'outstanding', 'good', 'requires improvement' or inadequate'.
As it stands, there are six care home in the North East which has been given the lowest rating - inadequate. This means the service is performing badly and the CQC has taken action against the person or the organisation that runs it.
They are:
