RCH Score methodology
How we rank care homes in London
Score 0–10 · updated monthly
CQC inspections can be 2–4 years old. Our RCH Score combines the official inspection result with live signals — real reviews, quality trajectory, and financial stability — to surface homes that are performing well today, not just at the last inspection.
CQC inspection rating
40%The official Care Quality Commission rating — Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, or Inadequate. The primary quality signal, but can be up to 4 years old.
Online reviews
30%Average star rating from verified public reviews across the web, weighted by volume. Reflects the day-to-day experience of residents and families. Only counted when 10+ reviews exist.
CQC trend
15%Whether the home's rating has been improving, stable, or declining across its last three inspections. An improving trajectory can offset an older rating.
Financial stability
15%Operational risk derived from Companies House filings — profit/loss trend, debt levels, and director changes. Financially stressed homes face higher closure and quality risk.
Rankings are calculated from public data only. We do not accept referral fees or paid placements from care homes.
The RCH Score is a decision-support tool, not a definitive ranking. Always visit a home in person and ask for the latest CQC inspection report before making a decision.

Residential care questions in London
How do I compare residential care homes in London?
Start with homes that provide care home places without a registered nursing flag, then compare CQC ratings, inspection freshness, fees, review evidence and financial indicators before arranging visits.
How are residential care homes different from nursing homes in London?
Residential care homes usually focus on accommodation, daily living support and personal care. Nursing homes add registered nursing care, so families should verify whether the person's health needs require nursing before shortlisting.
Does RightCareHome rank residential care homes in London by sponsorship?
No. RightCareHome is funded by families, not care homes. The page uses public evidence such as CQC ratings, costs, review signals and financial data rather than paid placement.
