What to do next: Use the listings above to shortlist 3–5 homes that meet your location and rating criteria. Then contact them to check: (1) whether they can accept your relative's specific care needs, (2) current availability and waiting times, (3) fees and how these compare to your council's personal budget, and (4) whether you can visit in person. Visit in working hours when staff are most available, at a weekend when it's quieter, and again at a time your relative is most likely to visit (lunch or afternoon activities). Ask to speak to current residents' families — they'll give you the most honest picture of day-to-day care quality.
