Comprehensive analysis
in Professional Report

Your shortlist in 10 minutes

Three short steps, with clear outputs at each stage.

1

1. Share Your Requirements

A few straightforward questions about location, care needs, and budget. Takes about two minutes — less time than making a cup of tea.

2

2. We Do the Legwork

We check CQC inspection reports, review company accounts, and look at how other families have rated their experience. Thorough, but not complicated.

3. Your Report Arrives

Free shortlist within 10 minutes. Professional report within 24 hours. Clear recommendations, no jargon, and absolutely no sales calls.

The challenge

The information exists. It's just scattered across 15 different sources.

Quality history. Financial stability. Staff satisfaction. Safety records. Funding options. We bring it together so you don't have to.

The challenge

  • CQC ratings can be 2–3 years old
  • A 'Good' rating doesn't show what happened before
  • Financial stability is invisible to families
  • Quoted fees rarely explain what's extra
  • No way to weigh what matters to your family

Result: Information scattered across multiple sources. Difficult to get the full picture.

What we provide

  • 5-year quality timeline, not just today's rating
  • Financial risk indicators from official records
  • Staff quality signals from verified sources

The high cost of "Free" advice

Most care brokers are free because they are paid by the care homes they recommend. If you aren't paying for the service, you might be the product.

Hidden Commission Model

Typical "Free" Broker

  • Paid up to 25% commission by the care home
  • Limited to 'Panel' homes that pay for referrals
  • Conflicting interests (incentivised to 'close' the deal)
100% Client-Funded

RightCareHome (Independent)

  • Transparent, one-off fee paid only by you

What the Professional Report includes

Beyond basic ratings and reviews, our analysis includes financial stability, quality trends, and staff satisfaction data.

Quality Trend Analysis

See how inspection ratings have changed over time. A home rated 'Good' today may have had issues in the past worth understanding.

2

Financial Stability Check

We analyse company accounts to identify homes that may be under financial pressure. This can affect care quality and continuity.

3

Staff Satisfaction Indicators

Employee review data helps indicate workplace culture. Consistent staffing often correlates with better care outcomes.

Common concerns, clear answers

The questions families ask first, followed by detailed answers below.

Is this care home financially stable?

Company accounts from 13 independent sources analysed. Financial concerns flagged clearly.

What funding options might be available?

NHS CHC, council funding, and DPA eligibility checked for your area

How has the quality changed over time?

5-year quality history with inspection timing analysis. Improving, stable, or declining — at a glance.

How can we decide as a family?

Share with up to 5 family members. Same data, better conversations.

These questions become harder to answer the longer you wait. Care home availability, finances, and CQC ratings change.

UNDERSTANDING CARE COSTS

The £23,400 difference between private and council rates

Private families often pay 43% more than council-funded residents for equivalent care. Understanding this gap can help you make informed decisions.

Private Family Rate£1500/week
+43%
Council-Funded Rate£1050/week
Same Care

Annual difference: £23,400

Councils publish what they consider a fair rate for care. Our report includes this benchmark so you can see how your local homes compare.

Why this difference exists: This isn't about negotiating a lower price — it's about understanding what the local authority considers fair for the level of care provided.

Less than 1 day of residential care

Common questions

Questions answered

Information about our care home analysis service

How long does the assessment take?

About 2 minutes. We ask a few questions about care needs, location, and budget, then generate your personalised report.

How quickly will I get my results?

Free Report: Within 10 minutes. Professional Report: Within 24 hours. Both include personalised care home recommendations based on your priorities.

What's included in the Free report?

3 recommended care homes, an initial funding eligibility check, local area analysis, and a checklist of questions for visits. It's designed to give you a useful starting point.

What additional analysis is in the Professional report?

The Professional report adds financial stability assessment, multi-year quality trends, staff satisfaction indicators, detailed funding guidance for your council, fair cost comparison, and 27+ personalised visit questions. You can also share it with up to 5 family members.

What happens after I get the free report?

You'll receive your report within 10 minutes with 3 recommended care homes. If you'd like more detailed analysis — including financial stability checks and comprehensive funding guidance — the Professional Report is available for £119.

Can I share the report with my family?

Yes. The Professional report includes a share feature — you can give read-only access to up to 5 family members for 30 days, making it easier to discuss options together.

Why is there a fee for the Professional report?

We're funded entirely by families, not care homes. This means our analysis is independent — we have no financial relationship with the homes we assess. The £119 fee covers the comprehensive analysis and ongoing updates to our data.

What if the report doesn't help me?

We offer a 30-day refund guarantee. If you don't find the Professional report helpful, email us and we'll refund your payment.

Do you cover my local council area?

We cover all 152 Local Authority areas in England. The Professional report includes funding guidance specific to your council, with contact details and application information.

Where does your data come from?

We use official regulatory data, company accounts, food hygiene records, and staff review platforms. We update our data regularly and don't rely on care home self-reporting.

Is my information kept private?

Yes. We're GDPR compliant. Your personal information is encrypted and never shared with care homes or third parties. Your data is used solely to generate your report.

Can you identify homes at risk of closure?

Our financial analysis uses company accounts data to identify potential financial concerns. While we can't predict closures with certainty, we flag indicators that warrant attention.

What makes the Professional Report different?

The free report gives you a shortlist. The Professional Report gives you the evidence to choose between them — and the confidence to act. It compares 5 homes across 200+ data points, with match scores weighted to your priorities, category analysis, risk alerts and a 14-day action plan.

Can I find this information myself?

Much of our data comes from public sources — CQC, Companies House, food hygiene ratings. But gathering, cross-referencing and analysing data from 13 separate sources for 5 homes would take significant time. Our report brings it together in one place, with clinical suitability matching, quality trend analysis and a personalised visit checklist — ready within 24 hours.

    We consider family engagement alongside financial stability, staff indicators, and inspection history. A home with a 'Good' rating but low family engagement may benefit from closer examination.
