About Compare Care Homes

Compare Care Homes is an independent directory that helps families find and compare care homes across England.

We list 13,650 CQC-registered care homes across 43 English counties. Every listing is built on official data from the Care Quality Commission (CQC): the regulator's rating, the home's registered beds, and the types of care it is registered to provide. We bring that information together in one place so you can search by location and care type, compare homes side by side, and enquire directly.

How we use CQC data

Contains public sector information from the Care Quality Commission, licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Ratings and registration details can change between updates, so we always link to the official CQC page for each home. We are not affiliated with the CQC.

For care providers

If you run a care home listed here, you can claim your listing to add photos, fees, current vacancies, facilities and a full description, and to receive enquiries from families. Get in touch to claim your home.

Independence

It is free for families to search and enquire. Compare Care Homes is an independent directory of care homes in England.
