The four nations rate care differently

Each nation has its own regulator and its own inspection framework. We keep every regulator’s own wording and add a coarse four-point band so you can compare across borders — carefully. How the mapping works.

How old is the inspection you’re reading?

A rating is a snapshot of one visit. 8,958 services carry a published rating from a visit more than six years ago — the home may have changed hands, changed manager or changed entirely since. Every page on this site shows the age of the inspection next to the rating, because the date matters as much as the verdict.

Where the beds are

The largest operators

Care is concentrated: a small number of groups run a large share of UK beds. These pages show how each operator performs across its whole estate, not one home at a time.

CareFacts can turn the same attributed public-register evidence into a scoped operator, geography or care-type brief for suppliers, investors, lenders and advisers. Paid work never changes the public directory or its ordering.
