Good to know

Is CareVerified independent of the care services it lists?

Yes. Ratings and inspection data come from official CQC public records. No service can pay to change its rating, and we never let paid placements influence inspection results.

Which care types are listed?

Residential care, nursing care, homecare, supported living, supported housing, hospice care, shared lives and community nursing services — across the whole UK.

How do I contact a service?

Open any listing to find contact details. Services that claim their listing can also add photos, their own story and direct contact options.

Do I need an account to search?

No account needed to search, browse or compare. It's completely free for families and always will be.
