Care homes nearby
Click a care home's name for what we know about it (type, operator, CQC rating), or use the Google link for its address, phone number and reviews. CQC ratings are shown for England homes only (CQC is England's regulator); Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland homes are regulated by the Care Inspectorate, Care Inspectorate Wales and RQIA respectively. Homes with no postcode on file (mostly in Wales) won't appear in postcode search — browse the full directory instead.
Frequently asked questions
How does the care home postcode search work?
Enter a UK postcode and we look up its location, then rank every care home we have on file by real straight-line distance from that postcode — nearest first, with a "show more" option to see further results. Covers residential and nursing care homes, with CQC rating shown where available.
Is this free to use?
Yes — the search is free, with no sign-up and no obligation to buy anything.
Why did my search show results further away than expected?
We always try to show the closest genuine matches, even in areas where coverage is thinner — if nothing was nearby, you'd see nothing useful at all. If the results feel too far, try a more specific or different nearby postcode, or browse the full directory by area instead.
How accurate is the address and phone number shown?
It comes from each nation's public register, refreshed periodically, but details can change — always confirm directly with the practice before visiting, including current opening hours and whether they're accepting new patients.
