What a nursing home offers
Round-the-clock nursing care in a real home
Registered nurses on site
Qualified nurses are present 24 hours a day for medication, wound care, feeding support and complex conditions.
Personal care and company
Care staff help with washing, dressing and moving, and the home organises activities and meals like any care home.
NHS-funded nursing care
Residents assessed as needing nursing care receive the NHS-funded nursing care contribution, and some qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare. Your adviser explains both.

Real stories, real support
See what families say about our service
Hannah was so engaged when we were looking for a suitable home for my father in law. She responded quickly and followed up all enquiries. We would not have found the home without her help.
One phone call put me in touch with Jake, who was immediately able to suggest three care homes in our area. Within 24 hours we had visited the top recommendation and reserved a room.
Hannah was knowledgeable, was careful to understand my wife's needs. She suggested suitable care homes within reasonable travelling distance for me and arranged for me to visit them.
Choosing a nursing home
What to look at before you decide
The CQC rating
Every nursing home in England is inspected by the Care Quality Commission. Your adviser points you to the latest report for each home on your list.
Timing after hospital
Discharge often leaves days, not weeks. Say so in the form and the search focuses on homes with a room available now.
The nursing team
Ask how many nurses are on duty at night and how the home handles the specific condition of your loved one.

Your questions
Questions families ask us
Is the service really free?
Yes. All Care Homes is 100% free for families, with no hidden fee and no commitment. Our partner homes fund the service when a resident moves in. You will not spend a single pound with us at any point of the search.
How quickly will I receive my list?
An adviser gets in touch shortly after you send the form, usually the same working day, to confirm what you need. Your personalised list of homes with a place available follows, most often within 24 hours.
What is the difference between a care home and a nursing home?
A care home (residential care) provides accommodation, meals and help with daily living: washing, dressing, medication, company. A nursing home does the same with registered nurses on site around the clock, for people with medical needs that require nursing care. If you are not sure which one is right, tell us in the form and your adviser will help you decide.
Can you help urgently, for example after a hospital stay?
Yes. Tell us in the form that you need a place in less than a month. Your adviser concentrates the search on homes with a room available right now and can arrange a visit within days.
How is a care home paid for?
Three routes exist: self-funding, local authority funding after a financial assessment, and NHS Continuing Healthcare for people whose needs are primarily health-related. Many families combine them. Your adviser will explain which one applies to your situation and what to ask the council or the NHS.
