How we match — and what this is not
Matches come from CQC’s own registration data, shown verbatim: the groups each service is registered to support and the kind of care it is registered to provide. Ratings are CQC’s, word for word, each with its publication date. We add nothing and score nothing.
These are not recommendations. Being registered for a need says a service may provide that care — not that it is right for your family. The choice stays with you, and the formal decision about what care someone needs sits with a council care needs assessment — free to ask for, whatever your finances.
If the person has ongoing health needs, some or all of their care may be NHS-funded instead. Beacon gives free independent advice on NHS Continuing Healthcare.
