Here are 5 tips for Finding and Choosing a Care Home:
| 1 | Ask your friends and family - they may be able to point you towards a care home with a good reputation. | |
| 2 | A list of Care Homes can be found in the Care Directory. | |
| 3 | Check the most recent inspection report by searching for the care home on the Care Quality Commission (CQC) site - www.cqc.org.uk | |
| 4 | Ask for a temporary stay in the care home before you decide. | |
| 5 | Check what people who have used the care home say about it from online feedback and review services. Contact your local Healthwatch branch or the local carers organisation. |
