These are the highest-rated care homes in the Bradford district, according to the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The independent regulator of health and social care inspects and regulates care homes, dentists, GP practices, hospitals, mental health services and much more.

In the most up-to-date list, 311 care homes across the Bradford district have been rated by inspectors. But only six of those were placed in the ‘outstanding’ category of care.

The CQC is due to inspect 10 practices, which do not currently have ratings.

This could be because the service is new, inspectors don’t have enough evidence or the service has recently been reconfigured, such as being taken over by a new provider.

Here is a full list of the CQC’s top-rated ‘outstanding’ care homes in Bradford district.
