Google Maps A Scarborough care home has received an improved CQC rating after it was placed in special measures following an ‘inadequate’ classification in March. The Eagle View Care Home, run by Amicura Limited, has made improvements to its service after the Care Quality Commission (CQC) gave it an inadequate rating earlier this year.
A follow-up assessment has given it an overall rating of ‘requires improvement’ after inspectors said improvements were identified in person-centred care, treating people with dignity and respect, safeguarding, staffing, recruitment, and governance.
