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
