Who we are

CareHomeAdvisor is a website for the consumer (usually someone thinking of entering a care home or their relative) to understand quickly and clearly who the best care providers are so they can make an informed judgement. We only cover nursing and residential care homes for older people (over 65), including dementia homes. Entry into a home is often a result of an emergency with the decision made in a short time frame, so having access to the right facts all in one place and to the right people who can give informed advice is critical.

How we can help

Independent – we are owned by LaingBuisson, the healthcare market intelligence provider that supplies the Office for National Statistics with data on the independent healthcare market. We are not aligned with any care home provider, we do not allow advertising by any care home provider on our home page and we are endorsed by organisations such as Age UK, Saga and Ipsos MORI who run Your Care Rating.

Impartial – we don’t use TripAdvisor type rankings. We use data from LaingBuisson, the Care Quality Commission, NHS Choices, Your Care Rating, Food Standards Agency and Health & Safety Executive. We do this because judging the quality of care is not as straightforward as judging the quality of a restaurant or hotel – it is complex and emotional and we therefore focus on objective, moderated facts and the views of experts in care.

Real-time – our website is linked directly to the underlying databases so if anything changes, our website updates itself immediately so you always have the latest and most accurate view on any home.

Drop-in sessions at Bassetlaw Hospital for Carers. 1st Tuesday of every month 1-2pm.
