A care home in Somerset has been given a negative score after being inspected.

The Care Quality Commission is in charge of inspecting social care services across England. The organisation judges care providers across various metrics – with the best possible rating being 'outstanding', and the worst 'inadequate'.

The latest data from the CQC shows Rivers – a residential care home – was awarded a 'requires improvement' rating on September 16. Its latest inspection was on July 20.

A 'requires improvement' rating means a service is not performing as well as it should, and will be given information by the CQC on how to improve.
