A Remarkable Transformation: Bankfield Residential Care Home Achieves Good Rating

In a heartwarming turnaround, Bankfield Residential Care Home in Bury has successfully upgraded its rating to 'Good' following a recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This positive assessment, released on June 9, comes as a result of diligent efforts made by the entire staff to enhance care quality, safety, and operational efficacy.
