Choosing the right care home for yourself or a loved one can feel quite daunting, particularly if the decision is being made while being discharged from hospital. It is always best practice to visit to meet the team and see the home with your own eyes (ears and nose!), how else can you gain that all important gut reaction to a place? However you can’t visit every care home, so how do you make a shortlist?
We always recommend carehome.co.uk as a useful first step. You can narrow down options by the type of care needed (nursing or not) and by geographical area. There are photos of the homes, biographies of the teams, links to CQC reports and most importantly, independent reviews by residents and their loved ones. Never believe everything you read online (as said before, always go and visit), but these reviews are unpaid observations by those that have lived experience of it, so well worth reading the most recent ones to pick up on any themes or specific areas of the home with lower scores.
