UK's top care homes in 2023 revealed

carehome.co.uk, the UK’s leading care home reviews site, has announced the top care homes in the country for 2023.

The awards are based on reviews of the care home written by the residents experiencing the care, as well as their friends and relatives, with thousands of homes battling it out to make it into the Top 20 for each of the 12 regions.

Looking for a care home can be overwhelming and a huge life-changing decision for the person moving into the care home.

The first Top 20 awards were launched back in 2014, with the aim of making people’s search for a care home less arduous.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager at carehome.co.uk, said: "We now have over 260,000 reviews of care homes on carehome.co.uk so we are able to give people a real insight into what a care home and its care staff are like. Our reviews reveal if the care home is value for money as well as the standard of its facilities and the quality of their care, activities and nutrition.

“Choosing a care home can be emotionally and physically exhausting for both the person going to live there as well as their family, so we hope our awards which are given to the highest rated homes will help make the search easier.

“These top performing care homes are putting compassion, respect and dignity at the very heart of their care and are making a profound difference to the lives of residents.”
