How to choose: what to check on a visit
Visit two or three homes in person, once by day and once around dinner time. Here is part of the checklist; the full one prints on one sheet.
Surroundings
- Clean, no unpleasant smell, light and ventilation
- Room size, space between beds, room for personal things
- Screens or curtains for privacy during personal care
Care
- How many staff are on by day and at night, and whether there is a nurse
- Whether residents look well cared for and take part in activities
- Who manages medication and how it is recorded

- How much does a private care home cost a month?
