The challenge

The information exists. It's just scattered across 15 official sources.

Quality history. Financial stability. Staff satisfaction. Funding options. Families tell us they wish they'd known these things sooner. We bring it together so you don't have to.

What you're probably wondering

  • How do I know if a 'Good' rating from 2023 still means anything?
  • What if the care home looks fine now but is struggling financially?
  • How can I tell if staff are happy and staying — before we move in?
  • Am I being quoted a fair price — or more than I should be paying?
  • Could we qualify for funding we don't know about?

Result: Information scattered across multiple sources. Difficult to get the full picture before committing.

What we can show you

  • 5-year quality timeline showing if a home is improving, stable, or declining
  • Company accounts analysis flagging financial concerns early
  • Staff satisfaction data from employee review platforms

The questions families ask us most

The same concerns come up again and again. Here's how we help answer them.

Is this care home financially stable?

Company accounts analysed from official records. Financial concerns flagged clearly.

Am I paying a fair price — or more than I should be?

Our fair cost comparison shows what your council considers a reasonable rate for the same level of care.

Could we qualify for NHS or council funding?

NHS CHC, council funding, and DPA eligibility checked for your area. Many families don't know these options exist.

How has the quality changed over time?

CQC ratings can be 2–3 years old. We show the 5-year quality trend — whether a home is improving, stable, or declining.

Our reports help answer these questions with evidence from 15 official sources.

15 official sources. Cross-referenced and validated.

    What families say

    Feedback from families who've used our analysis to help with their care home decision.

    Good
    “The financial stability check flagged concerns about a home we'd shortlisted. Three months later, they went into administration. That report genuinely protected my mother.”
    M
    Margaret T.
    Birmingham
    Good
    “We were about to commit to a home with a 'Good' CQC rating. The report showed their finances were deteriorating and staff turnover was twice the average. We chose differently — and six months on, we're glad we did.”
    D
    David R.
    Manchester
    Good
    “Finding the right home for Mum with dementia felt overwhelming. The report showed which homes had specialist training, stable staff, and strong inspection histories. It turned an impossible decision into a manageable one.”
    E
    Eleanor P.
    Surrey
    Good
    “The funding guidance was particularly useful. We hadn't realised Dad might be eligible for NHS support.”
    J
    James W.
    Bristol
    Good
    “I'd been putting this off for months — reading reviews, visiting homes, lying awake worrying I'd get it wrong. The report laid everything out clearly. For the first time, I felt like I could actually make this decision without second-guessing myself.”
    P
    Patricia H.
    Leeds
    Good
    “After Dad's stroke, we had days, not weeks. My sister was in Scotland, my brother kept saying 'just pick one.' Having a proper analysis — with the finances checked, the quality trends laid out — meant we could agree on a home together, even at a distance. I don't think we'd have managed without it.”
    R
    Robert S.
    York
    Good
    “I'd spent two weeks cross-referencing CQC reports, Companies House filings, and Google reviews every evening. The Professional Report pulled it all together — financial checks, staff data, visit questions — in one clear document. At £119, it saved me dozens of hours and a lot of second-guessing.”
    C
    Catherine M.
    Hampshire
    Good
    “My brother lives abroad and my sister kept sending me random links. I shared the Professional Report with both of them — same data, same analysis. We agreed on a shortlist in one video call. First time we'd agreed on anything care-related in months.”
