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.

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

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.
