The Crown Awards The RDB Crown Award is an additional certification to the RDB Star Rating, to reflect the standard of service and facilities of the care home, but can only be achieved by homes that achieve a minimum of an RDB 4 Star Rating.
The crown ratings are cumulative, therefore to achieve a 4 Crowns Rating, the home has to satisfy the criteria of a 3 Crowns Rating. Similarly, to achieve 5 Crowns, the home will need to satisfy the criteria of both the 3 and 4 Crowns. The criteria we look at are grouped into the following section headings:
Star Rating
On achieving the Crowns Award, the home will be provided with a Crowns Award Certificate, which can be displayed within the care home and is valid for one year in line with the RDB Star Rating Award.

Forefront of Measuring Quality
"RDB Star Rating has been at the forefront of measuring quality in residential care services for many years. The news that this excellent scheme has been accredited by UKAS, gives the general public and care providers an independently accredited view of quality. At a time when the quality of care services is constantly being scrutinised, RDB Star Rating is an independently accredited and universally acclaimed mark of quality."
Professor Martin Green, Chief Executive of Care England
Drive up quality in service provision
LCA has had a long association with RDB Star Rating and continues to promote its benefits to providers. Quality in care is not something owned by public and quasi-public bodies with an inspection/quality monitoring role to be imposed externally. It is something which is at the heart of a provider’s commitment to delivering quality care and support throughout the organisation. It gives a provider ownership of their quality processes. RDB Star Rating is an excellent means for a provider to make their commitment to quality visible and measurable
Paul Simic, Lancashire Care Association
