Residents, family and friends have rated thousands of care homes all over the UK and have named the top residential settings in the UK.

Care homes are very much in the public eye at the moment, due to their instrumental role in caring for the vulnerable and elderly during the pandemic.

Choosing a care home is very hard in normal times but it has now been made even harder due to care homes shutting their doors to all but essential visitors.

The thousands of reviews on carehome.co.uk are invaluable as they show what a care home is really like. There are also coronavirus updates on many of the care homes’ profiles informing people of their policies and how they are caring for residents during this challenging time.

carehome.co.uk has compiled thousands of reviews and looked at a whole range of categories, including the quality of care, facilities, overall standard, staff, activities and value for money.
