How to decide if a care home is right for you

Things to consider before choosing a care home:

• where it is (location) – for example, do you want to be near your family or local shops?

• how much it costs

• whether they offer the right services or activities you need

• how visiting and leaving the care home works – for example, do you want to be able to go out on your own or with staff assistance?

Signs of a good care home include:

• staff and managers with the right time, skills and experience to do their jobs

• clean buildings, rooms and bathrooms

• a wide range of activities for residents at home and outside

• good quality food choices and options about where to eat meals

• fast and easy access to health professionals, such as GPs and dentists

• the care home makes sure any cultural, religious or lifestyle needs are met

• feedback from residents is asked for and used to improve care
