Care and support in a residential setting

Options include going to a care home; buying or renting another home; or sharing your home with someone else. If these services provide personal care or treatment, they must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Find Me Good Care lists all services registered with CQC.

Care and support in my home

Many care and support services can help you to live independently at home. If they deliver personal care (e.g. washing or dressing), then they must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). All of these services are listed on this website. Other services such as companionship services, gardening or hairdressing, do not have to be registered with CQC. We are building up a list of these services.

Paying for care

If you can afford it, you will nearly always have to pay towards the cost of your care. Costs can be very high if care is needed over a long period of time. Whether you are planning care or looking to change your care, we have advice to help you.

Advice on care costs

We also have tools to help you estimate costs.
Are you over 65 and looking for a care home or a nursing home?

Over 65’s Care Home Costs

To help you plan a variety of services to meet your particular needs use our care costs calculator. This will allow you to see your total costs for different care combinations
