23 rated Good, 1 rated Requires improvement, and 17 without a published rating. Ratings are set by the Care Quality Commission and can change after each inspection.
A residential care home provides accommodation and personal care (help with washing, dressing and meals). A nursing home also has registered nurses on site to provide nursing care for people with more complex health needs. Many providers offer both.
In England, the Care Quality Commission inspects and rates care homes and home-care agencies as Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement or Inadequate. Each HealthWise listing shows the current rating where available and links to the full CQC report, which is worth reading in detail.
It depends on your needs and finances. Your local council can carry out a needs assessment and a financial assessment to determine any support you qualify for; some people fund their own care. Thresholds change, so check the latest guidance on GOV.UK or with your local authority.
