## How to use this directory

Each care home listed is registered with and rated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England. CQC inspects every registered care home against five domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led. The overall rating reflects performance across all five.

Click any region below to expand the full list of homes for that area. Ratings shown are the most recent published CQC overall rating as of June 2026\. Always verify the current rating directly on the CQC website before making any decision, as homes are re-inspected regularly and ratings change.

Care home fees in England average over £40,000 a year for residential care and over £55,000 for nursing care. Funding depends on your capital assets and income - read the [care funding UK guide](https://www.kaeltripton.com/care-funding-uk/) before making any placement decision.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does a CQC rating mean?

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) rates every registered care home in England across five domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led. Each domain receives its own rating, and an overall rating is then assigned. The four possible overall ratings are Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement and Inadequate. A home rated Inadequate is placed in special measures and faces urgent regulatory action.

### How often does CQC inspect care homes?

CQC risk-rates all providers and inspects accordingly. Homes rated Good or Outstanding are typically inspected every two to three years unless concerns are raised. Homes rated Requires Improvement are re-inspected sooner, usually within a year. Homes rated Inadequate face immediate regulatory action and are re-inspected within six months.

### What is the difference between residential and nursing care?

Residential care homes provide accommodation, meals and personal care support (help with washing, dressing, mobility). They do not provide medical or clinical nursing care. Nursing care homes have qualified nurses on site around the clock and can manage complex medical needs, wounds, catheters, PEG feeding and palliative care. Dementia care may be provided in either setting depending on the stage and needs of the individual.

### How much does a care home cost in 2026?

Care home fees vary significantly by location and type of care. Average residential care fees in England are approximately £42,000 per year. Nursing care averages approximately £56,000 per year. London and the South East are significantly more expensive. Local authorities fund care for those below the capital threshold of £23,250, subject to a means test. Those above the threshold self-fund. Read the full breakdown in the [care funding UK guide](https://www.kaeltripton.com/care-funding-uk/).

### Is this directory complete?

No. This directory contains a representative sample of CQC-registered care homes from the CQC Care Directory (1 June 2026). The full CQC register contains 14,780 registered care homes in England. For the complete list, visit [cqc.org.uk - find a care home](https://www.cqc.org.uk/care-services/care-homes?ref=kaeltripton.com) and search by postcode.
