To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Very helpful,friendly and efficient

I found the website very helpful with sufficient detail to shortlist homes that fitted our criteria to visit. The phone call was extremely helpful in assisting me to prioritise the areas of need to focus on and was friendly and understanding at what is stressful time.

Teresa Robb Is Shocked

Teresa Robb is doing this review
I wrote a great review for a member of staff which I meant every word (then) The same staff member phoned me today 17/4/26 to basically tell me they can't help me anymore as I never took up any of the referrals given, but they were emailed telling them I have to put things on hold, as I had just received a phone call from my Mother's doctor in England and it was NOT very good news, I am very disappointed in this as they are basically telling me, my Mother is of no importance. They have really NO idea what I'm dealing with or going through. I will NEVER try them again. No One or Anything is more IMPORTANT than my Mother.

Platform for fake reviews

While the website provides some good information about Carehomes it has become pretty obvious that many reviews are fake!
It seems little or no action is taken when to verify or vet the positive 5 star reviews.

Hi Lorraine - we’re really sorry to hear you’ve been left with this impression.

Trust is incredibly important to us, especially when families are making such important decisions. That’s why every single review published on our platform goes through a rigorous verification process. We take great pride in ensuring that all reviews reflect genuine experiences - real feedback from real families.

Our checks are intentionally thorough, and in many cases this level of scrutiny can be frustrating for care providers, as we won’t publish reviews unless they meet our strict validation standards. It’s a process we stand by, because it helps protect the integrity and reliability of the information families rely on.

If there’s a specific review that raised concerns for you, we’d really welcome the opportunity to look into it further and provide reassurance. If you'd like to email us at reviews@carehome.co.uk, we will look into this for you.

Gemma was so helpful and understanding

Gemma was so helpful and understanding. She listened really carefully to my needs and came up with much helpful advice as well as putting me in touch with care homes for my husband near where I live. Thank you.

This where I began the search for a care home for my wife. I used it twice having changed the criteria.
It's good to have a range of options in your area along with the basic data including costs.
