Methodology
Figures are computed from 15 real Care Quality Commission records for care homes in Suffolk (CQC service type "Residential homes" or "Nursing homes"). Every number is an exact count of registered homes β CQC publishes a categorical inspection scheme (Outstanding / Good / Requires improvement / Inadequate), never a 0β5 numeric scale, so we show no average and no AggregateRating. Operator company status, where shown, is an exact name match against Companies House. No estimates or survey data are mixed in. Data as of 2026-06-12.
