We do not treat the phrase 'dementia care' on its own as proof of quality. On RightCareHome, dementia-specialist homes are checked more carefully for dementia-specific fit signals such as whether dementia care is registered, whether secure or wandering support is clearly published, whether nursing cover is available when needs are more complex, and whether inspection or family feedback supports that positioning. If wandering support is not clear in the public data, that becomes a follow-up question rather than a positive signal.

The Care Home Check report considers available staffing information alongside family experiences. Coverage varies, and any gaps remain questions to confirm with the home.
The rating and family experiences can highlight different aspects of a home. Read both in context:
