LaingBuisson today announces the launch of Care Quality Benchmarks, a monthly reporting service that showcases the latest ratings for the independent regulator of health and social care in England, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), in a new accessible manner. This service is designed to give care home C-suite executives, local authority commissioners and NHS managers a clear, evidence-grade view of care home quality across portfolios and local areas.

Care Quality Benchmarks delivers concise, C-suite-ready intelligence to subscribers’ inboxes each month. The service provides:

  • A portfolio-level KPI showing the percentage of homes rated Good or Outstanding.
  • Peer benchmarking and a league table that positions organisations against defined peer groups and the England average.
  • Individual home-level detail, including CQC ratings and inspection dates, for every home in a group or within defined boundaries.
  • Separate, tailored reports for care homes for older people and care homes for younger adults.
  • Monthly delivery with real-time updates so governance and operational teams can act quickly on inspection changes and trends.

As a sister product to LaingBuisson’s respected social care database CareSearch, Care Quality Benchmarks uses rigorous, structured processes to collect and present CQC data in a format designed for executive consumption and auditability.

William Laing, Founder and Executive Chairman of LaingBuisson, says:

“Boards and commissioners need clarity they can trust. Care Quality Benchmarks gives leaders an immediate, comparable view of quality across their footprint, enabling faster, better informed decisions and focused action where it matters most. We designed this product to put operational and strategic teams on the front foot, with data that is both usable and defensible.”
