We understand
Finding a nursing home is often overwhelming
Many families have to decide quickly, without knowing where to start. That is exactly why we exist.
An emotional decision
It is about someone you love. Nobody should have to make this choice alone.
No time to compare
Calling nursing homes one by one takes weeks you do not always have.
Hard to judge quality
Every website looks the same. We only put forward homes we have selected, with the CQC report for each one.
Fees that are hard to read
Weekly fees, extras, council funding: we compare the prices and help you with the funding questions.
You are not alone.
Your area
A nursing home in Portsmouth, close to home
The Spinnaker Tower over the harbour, the historic ships of the Dockyard and the long seafront of Southsea give Portsmouth its landmarks. When the time comes to choose a nursing home, many families want to stay close: to the neighbourhood, the shops, the familiar faces.
Your adviser knows the nursing homes in Portsmouth and the towns around it. They know where places come up, from Southsea and Fratton to North End and Cosham, and only put forward homes that match the care needs and the budget of your loved one.
The local picture
Nursing homes in Portsmouth
Help with the fees, which hospitals are close, how far to look: what families in Portsmouth usually ask first.
Help from the council with the fees
After a needs assessment, Portsmouth City Council offers a financial assessment to see what your loved one can get towards the cost of their care. If the value of their house is counted when they move into a nursing home, it does not have to be sold straight away: the council's deferred payment scheme lets you choose when.
Hospitals nearby
Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth is the main site of Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, which also offers outpatient services at St Mary's Hospital and Gosport War Memorial Hospital. Useful when your loved one needs regular appointments.
Few places nearby? We widen the search
Many families look first in the city, from Southsea to North End and Cosham. If no place suits, we widen the search to the towns around: Fareham, Gosport, Havant, Waterlooville or Emsworth.

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.
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.
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.
What happens after I send the form?
A dedicated adviser calls you to understand the situation: the level of care needed, the area, the timing and the budget. They then send a short list of suitable homes with prices and vacancies, and arrange visits with the homes you want to see. They stay available for questions until the move.
Are the homes inspected?
Every care home and nursing home in England is registered and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which rates them Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement or Inadequate. We only work with homes we have selected for their standards, and your adviser can point you to the latest inspection report for each home on your list.
