Lottie care-seeker feedback

Annie - Lottie Care Seeker

”We wanted mum to be closer to us, but we were struggling to find somewhere within our budget and in the right location. We contacted Lottie who knew about a new development that was due to open soon, and still had a few apartments available. Mum is now part of a wonderful community, thank you Lottie!”

Lottie is a free service that helps families and retirees find the UK's best elderly care homes and retirement living communities. Every community on Lottie's marketplace has been hand-picked and vetted against Lottie's internal scoring system; which considers several criteria, including care quality, customer reviews, pricing transparency and bed availability.

As well as providing support to find the best elderly care services for your loved ones, Lottie has recently extended its service to retirement seekers - working alongside some of the biggest providers in the retirement sector. You can browse Lottie's retirement living properties, including hundreds of vetted retirement communities, homes and some of the best retirement villages in the UK.

How is Lottie able to offer a free service to care seekers?

Lottie is able to keep its service free for families and retirees by taking a small pre-agreed introductory commission from our community partners.

Unlike other directories, Lottie does not allow for boosting on the marketplace, but instead is focused on matching care and retirement seekers to the best communities, based on their individual search criteria, including things like care requirements, location preference and budget.
