RCH Score methodology
How we rank care homes in Preston
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 provider-record context — to surface homes that are worth a closer look 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.
Provider records
15%Dated public provider records, where available. We show useful questions and information gaps, not a credit rating or prediction.
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.

Dementia care questions in Preston
How do I compare dementia care homes in Preston?
Start with homes that publish specialist dementia care signals, then compare CQC ratings, inspection freshness, fees, review evidence and financial indicators before arranging visits.
Are dementia care homes different from residential care homes in Preston?
Some residential and nursing homes also support people living with dementia. The important check is whether the home publishes dementia-specific capability and whether its inspection, staffing, environment and fee evidence match the person's needs.
Does RightCareHome rank dementia care homes in Preston by sponsorship?
No. RightCareHome is funded by families, not care homes. The page uses public evidence such as CQC ratings, costs, review signals and provider records rather than paid placement.
