CQC Inspection Success at Churchview

We’re delighted to share some fantastic news from the recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection at Churchview Care Services

CQC upgrades Churchview to GOOD!

Churchview, part of our Oaklea Care business, delivers supported living services to people in the Taunton area. They were last inspected in November 2023 when their services were rated as ‘Requires Improvement’.

Following immediate improvements and a new inspection in June, we are delighted to celebrate the great news that they have now been rated ‘Good’ in all areas.

‘Good’ in all Areas

This last visit was an opportunity for the team to showcase the improvements and the life-changing work they deliver every day, and for the people we support to celebrate their independence and the happy home life they lead. We couldn’t be prouder of the positive feedback they have received.

The inspectors spent time with our dedicated registered manager, Kate, her team of support workers, the people we support, their relatives, and local professionals. The report highlights the relationships and a positive culture that make Churchview such a special place to live and work.

Here are just a few of the highlights from the report:

  • People who spoke with inspectors were “happy with the support they received from staff.”
  • A relative shared, “They [staff] are absolutely brilliant, absolutely no problems with them whatsoever.”
  • The team was praised for their positive attitude and the supportive culture within the team. One team member commented, “We all get on well… I feel very valued.”
  • The commitment to supporting people to stay connected was noted, with one person being supported to use an iPad to keep in touch with a relative living abroad. The report also noted the new digital portal that will soon make it even easier for relatives to access information about their loved ones.
  • The report also featured feedback from a professional who described the overall quality of care as “Outstanding” and said they would “recommend the service.”

Celebrating Success

Registered manager Kate shared her immense pride in the team’s hard work, saying:

“I’m so proud of my team. This report truly reflects the dedication, compassion, and unwavering support they provide every single day. We are a family here at Churchview and across Oaklea Care, and the inspectors saw that firsthand. Our commitment to the people we support is at the heart of everything we do.”

Our Regional Operations Director for the South West, Rob, shared words of praise for Kate and the team.

"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Kate and the entire Churchview team. This new rating is a direct result of their incredible hard work and dedication. Their passion for person-centred support shines through, and they are truly committed to helping every individual they support to unlock their full potential."
