Frequently asked questions

Here is some further information about care homes in England.

How many care homes are there in England?

We have 386 care homes in England. Our team of Care Experts hand-picks all our homes based on several factors, including the quality of care, facilities, and the home's culture.

What is the average cost of care in England?

Care home costs vary significantly across England. The average cost of care in England is £1,126 per week.

You could be eligible for care funding support in England from your local authority - you can check through a free financial assessment, which immediately follows a care needs assessment. You may also qualify for a form of NHS support, such as NHS continuing healthcare.

What's included in the weekly cost of a care home in England?

Typically, the weekly cost of a care home includes accommodation, the care itself, access to facilities, meals and snacks, housekeeping, social activities, and 24/7 support from carers and other staff members.

Additional extras in England may include hairdressing, chiropody, physiotherapy, other forms of therapy, trips out, and specialist equipment.

What factors affect England care home fees?

In England, care home fees vary based on factors such as the type of care needed (with nursing care costing more than residential care), the facilities and activities available, room size and other features, and the staff-to-resident ratio.

Homes in more central areas may be more expensive due to higher property and carer costs.

Are all care homes in England regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC)?

Yes, every England care home has been given a rating by England's Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The CQC checks care homes to ensure they're safe and well-run. They regularly conduct inspections and publish reports to help care-seekers make the right choice.

How many England care homes offer residential care?

1296 England homes offer residential care. These provide respectful, day-to-day support with tasks like washing, dressing, mobility, and managing certain medications.

Residential care homes in England offer a safe setting for those who find it challenging to live independently, but don't have complex health needs.

How many nursing homes are there in England?

We have 785 nursing homes in England that provide specialist, 24/7 nursing care. Each home offers personalised support for those living with complex medical needs, chronic illnesses, disabilities, or other conditions that require regular monitoring and clinical care. Many also provide rehabilitation services after hospital stays or surgery.

This care is delivered by registered nurses and trained care staff in home-from-home settings.

What care homes in England offer dementia care?

1212 care homes in England provide round-the-clock support for residents living with dementia.

These homes offer safe, supportive settings with staff trained to understand the needs of people experiencing memory loss or other dementia-related symptoms. Care is tailored to each resident, ensuring they're treated with the dignity and individuality they deserve. As dementia is a progressive condition, dementia care homes are equipped to adapt as needs change over time.

What England care homes offer respite care?

If you're looking for temporary respite care, we have 1365 respite care homes in England that offer short-term stays.

Respite care is ideal when a regular carer needs a break, is on holiday, or is temporarily unable to provide care. Stays usually last a few weeks at a time and include the same level of support that permanent residents receive. You can find more information about respite care homes in England.

Are there any care homes in England that offer end-of-life or palliative care?

998 England care homes provide specialist palliative and end-of-life care for your loved one. Searching for this type of support can be an emotional experience, so our Care Experts are here to guide you every step of the way.

A palliative care home provides the highest level of care and comfort to those living with chronic or life-limiting conditions. This can take place over weeks, months, or even years. As your loved one nears the end of their life, they'll be given end-of-life care, which focuses on easing discomfort and providing sensitive support.
