How the ratings break down

Rating over five years old: 5

A pattern across an operator’s homes tells you something a single inspection cannot — but so does the age of those inspections. 5 of these homes were last judged more than five years ago. See our research on inspection ages.

What a place with Carebase is likely to cost

Operators do not publish a single national price, and neither will we invent one. What each of these homes charges a self-funding family depends on the home, the room and the level of care.

What you can compare it against is what the local council pays. Where we have a council’s published rate it appears on each home’s page, and across England those rates run from £768 to £1,182 a week for a standard residential place. See what councils pay, and ask the home directly for its own figure.

Ask two things: what the weekly fee is for a self-funder, and whether the home will keep a resident at the council rate if savings later fall below £23,250. Get the second answer in writing.
