A care home costs £1,000 a week. Choosing one shouldn’t come down to a brochure and a tour.
We screen every care home in your area — finances, staffing, quality trends, inspection history — and recommend the homes that genuinely match your family’s needs. Not the ones that advertise the most.
The challenge
Most families choose a care home based on a rating, a visit, and a feeling
The information you need exists — it’s just scattered across official sources that most people don’t know how to find.
CQC rating: "Good"
Is quality improving or declining? 70% of ratings are 2+ years old.
The brochure looks lovely
Is the company financially stable? Some homes rated "Good" have filed dormant accounts.
Staff seemed friendly on the tour
What do employees actually say? Staff satisfaction scores reveal what a 30-minute visit cannot.
"From £1,200 per week"
Is that a fair price? Many self-funders pay 40% more than council-funded residents for identical care.
1 in 5 families change care homes after placement. Better information before you choose means a better outcome for everyone.

Wherever you are in the process, the full picture helps
You have a shortlist but can’t decide
You’ve visited 3 homes. All seemed decent. But you’re about to commit £1,000+ a week — and “seemed decent” isn’t due diligence.
See how each home compares on finances, staffing, quality trends, and fair pricing — side by side.
You’re not sure where to start
There are dozens of care homes within 30 minutes. CQC says most are “Good”. How do you narrow it down when they all look the same?
We screen every home in your area and recommend the ones that genuinely match — before you visit a single one.
The hospital says discharge is next week
You’ve been given a list of homes with availability. The pressure is real. But rushed doesn’t have to mean uninformed.
Your report is delivered within 24 hours. Start with the comparison summary to make a confident decision, fast.
A friend recommended a home
Someone you trust says “Oakfield is wonderful.” It probably is. But their parent’s needs may be very different from yours.
We check whether it genuinely matches your family’s requirements — and suggest alternatives if it doesn’t.
