What we do

A directory built for families, not providers

CareFinder is a UK-wide directory of residential care homes, nursing homes, and home-care providers. Search by city, compare CQC ratings, see real fees and family reviews, and contact homes directly — without forms that hand your details to half a dozen sales teams.

Care homes can claim their listing for free and respond to enquiries directly. There are no paid placements that override search results — homes are ranked by CQC rating, distance, and review score. We make money through optional premium provider features and through our partnership with UB Healthcare for families who want hands-on care-advisor support.

Search 15,000+ care homes

Free search across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Filter by care type, CQC rating, and what's important to your family.

Verified CQC data

Live ratings pulled from the Care Quality Commission. The same data inspectors use, refreshed weekly.

Real reviews, real homes

Reviews from Google and from families who've placed loved ones — not just provider-controlled testimonials.

Make sure you're in the right place

CareFinder is thecarefinder.co.uk

We are CareFinder, at thecarefinder.co.uk. Several other UK and US sites use similar names but are not affiliated with us. If you've reached this page expecting a different service, you may be looking for one of:
  • Care Finder Assist (carefinderassist.com) — a separate UK care-advisor service.
  • CareFind (carefind.com) — a separate care-discovery site.
  • care-home.org.uk / "CareFinder UK" — a different directory.
  • carefinder.org.uk — a different operator entirely.
  • CAREFINDER LIMITED (Companies House #06945312) — a UK company that was dissolved on 22 January 2013 and has not been operational for over a decade.
  • Local-authority "Care Finder" services from councils like Cheshire East, which list publicly-funded care services in their area.
CareFinder (this site) is an independent UK directory and is not affiliated with any of the above. Contact us at [email protected] if you're unsure whether you're in the right place.
