Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Care homes must be registered with the CQC by law. A newly registered or recently re-inspected home may not yet have a published rating, which is not necessarily a concern — but a home operating without any CQC registration is a serious red flag.
