How this list is ordered

Homes in Carnforth are ordered by the MyCareCheck score, the average of the CQC's ratings for the five questions it asks at every inspection. Where two homes score the same, the better overall rating goes first.

Paying never changes a home's rating, score or place. Top places are only offered to homes rated Good or Outstanding and are always labelled.
