CQC publishes registrations and ratings. It holds nothing at all about fees, current vacancies, staffing levels, or the building itself — there is no field anywhere for door widths, hoists, wet rooms or ground-floor rooms. So no site, including this one, can tell you those. They are worth asking directly — the number is above.
- What are the fees, and what do they not include?
- Do you have a vacancy now, and would you hold a room?
- How many staff are on at night, and how are transfers staffed?
- What change in someone’s needs would mean they had to move, and can I see that in the contract?
More on what actually decides a good home-care agency at choosing home care.
- What to ask a home care agencyContinuity of carer, missed visits, who answers at 8pm — the questions that actually decide it.
- Coming out of hospitalIf this follows a hospital stay: the discharge decision, reablement, and what to ask the ward.
- Ask the council for a needs assessmentFree, whatever the savings, and the formal route to arranged care and funding.
- Understand who paysThe means test, what happens to the home, and NHS Continuing Healthcare.
- How to read this ratingWhat the words mean, the five key questions, and why the date matters.

Nearest first — a place to look around, not a ranking. Other services of the same type within 5 miles, registered for at least one of the same groups this service supports. Distance is straight line between registered addresses — for an agency that is its office, not where the care happens, so ask whether they cover the postcode. Not an assessment of anyone’s needs.
