Gwen Walford Retain ‘Good’ Rating Following CQC Review
Gwen Walford Nursing Home on Hampton Park Road in Hereford is pleased to announce it has been reviewed as ‘good’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), following a review published earlier this month. This confirms that the home retains its full inspection conducted in February 2020 in which Gwen Walford was rated as ‘good’ overall, and ‘good’ across all five key lines of enquiry: ‘safe’, ‘effective’, ‘caring’, ‘responsive’ and ‘well-led’.
