How do we score dementia-specialist homes differently?

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.

Closure risk should be judged alongside inspection history, fee pressure, and what the manager can explain on your visit.

Start by comparing Aucklands Care's published weekly fees with the local care home benchmark. On this page, those fees look around area average. Fees that sit near the area average still need checking against what level of care, room type, and extras are actually included.
