Common questions

How many care homes are there in London?

PlacementHub lists 2,113 care services across London, with 40,833 registered beds between them. Croydon has the most, with 175.

How many London care homes are rated Good or Outstanding?

Of the 1,175 London services with a published CQC rating on PlacementHub, 91% are rated Good or Outstanding (31 Outstanding, 1,043 Good). Services rated Inadequate aren't listed.

What is the difference between a residential home and a nursing home?

A residential care home provides personal care — help with washing, dressing, meals and medication — with care staff on hand day and night. A nursing home also has registered nurses on duty around the clock, for people whose health needs call for clinical care. Some homes are registered for both.

How do I check a care home's CQC rating?

Every listing on PlacementHub shows the home's current CQC rating, taken from the Care Quality Commission's public register. The CQC inspects care homes in England and rates them Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement or Inadequate.

Is PlacementHub free to use?
