Questions families commonly have

When someone you love needs care, you want to make the right decision. These are questions we're often asked.

How do I know if £1,300 per week is fair, or if I'm being overcharged?

Our fair cost calculator shows what councils pay vs what you're quoted. Self-funders often pay 35-48% more for identical care.

The CQC rating is 'Good', but it's from 2020. Is that still accurate?

70% of CQC ratings are over 4 years old. We analyse 5-year quality trends plus current staff satisfaction data updated monthly.

What if the care home closes and I have to move Mum again?

1 in 4 care homes are now at financial risk. Our Companies House analysis provides early warning 6-12 months before closures become public.

I think Dad might qualify for NHS funding, but I don't know how to check.

89% of eligible families don't know about NHS Continuing Healthcare. We assess eligibility and provide appeal guidance if needed.

I feel guilty about this decision. How do I know it's the right time?

You're not abandoning anyone—you're being a responsible, caring advocate who wants to ensure they receive proper professional care. Our report gives you an objective framework to support this difficult but necessary decision with confidence.

Our Professional Report aims to provide clear, data-based answers to these questions.

What Other Families Have Experienced

“We were looking at care homes for my mother. The financial stability check flagged concerns about one of the homes we'd shortlisted. Three months later, they went into administration. The report gave us information we wouldn't have found ourselves.”

Margaret T., Birmingham

Professional Report, October 2025

“My father had a stroke. We needed to make decisions quickly. The funding guidance showed he qualified for NHS Continuing Healthcare—we hadn't realised. The council confirmed it. Potentially £60,000 per year difference.”

James W., Bristol

Professional Report, November 2025

“Researching care for someone with dementia is overwhelming. This brought together information from different sources—CQC reports, financial records, food hygiene data—that would have taken me weeks to find and understand. Made the decision feel more manageable.”

Eleanor P., Surrey

Why We Charge a Transparent Fee

Some placement services receive referral fees from care homes, which can affect how they're funded. We've chosen a transparent fee-based model instead.

Taking Time to Decide

This is an important decision, and we completely understand if you need time to consider whether the Professional Report is right for your situation. There's no pressure—we're here to help when you're ready.

The report is most valuable when:

  • •You want to verify financial stability before committing
  • •You'd like family members in different locations to see the same information

Remember: you can always start with the free assessment and upgrade later if you decide you need the comprehensive analysis. There's absolutely no obligation or pressure.

We're here to support you whenever you're ready. The free assessment is a helpful starting point, and you can take it from there at your own pace.

  • •Appeal guidance if initially rejected
  • Eligibility check for NHS Continuing Healthcare, council funding and DPA

    Many families don't realise funding may be available

    5-Year Quality Trend Analysis

    • •CQC inspection history (not just current rating)
    • •Staff satisfaction from 200+ platforms (monthly updates)
    • •Food hygiene records and safety compliance

    • •Prevents wrong placement requiring second move

    Analysis of whether a home can support changing care needs over time

    Reduce the risk of needing a disruptive second move

    Alternative Options

    • • DIY research: 30-40 hours across Companies House, CQC, FSA, council websites
    • • Commission-based services: £2,000-£5,000 fee paid by care homes (creates bias)
    • • Standard directories: Only show homes that pay listing fees

    Nothing is hidden. Every single data point includes its source citation, so you can independently verify anything against CQC, Companies House, or Food Standards Agency records. We have nothing to hide—because we're on your side.

    Local Authority

    • •All 152 councils
    • •CHC thresholds
    • •Council funding criteria

    We use exactly the same analytical approach that local authorities and NHS teams apply when making funding decisions. The crucial difference? We make it available to families like yours before you're caught up in the formal assessment process—when the information can actually help you make better choices.

    Every report includes full source citations. You can verify any data point against the original source.

    RightCareHome:Provide useful analysis

    We're not suggesting commission-based services are dishonest—many provide valuable support. However, we prefer to work directly for families to ensure our analysis remains independent.

    Our £119 fee means we can analyse any care home in your area, not just those that work with particular services. This supports our independence.

    Family Sharing

    Share with up to five family members. Often these decisions involve siblings or other relatives—we make it straightforward to keep everyone informed.

    We're confident in the value we provide because we use only official sources and cite everything transparently. But if you genuinely feel the report hasn't helped you, we'll refund you immediately—because we only want your money if we've genuinely helped your family.

    6-12 months early warning indicators

    Prevents £8,500 emergency moving costs

    The CQC rating is from 2021. Is that still relevant?

    • Food hygiene and safety records

    Current quality indicators, not outdated ratings

    Could we qualify for NHS or council funding?

    The Professional Report brings together information from official sources to help answer these questions. All data points can be independently verified.
