Need to Find Good Care Services? CQC can help
Choosing care can be one of life’s most stressful experiences, but the Care Quality Commission is trying to raise awareness of the support it can provide for people who are trying to choose a care home, either for themselves or for someone else.

70% of people who were asked said that choosing a care home was one of the most stressful decisions they have ever had to make - even beating choosing a child's nursery/school or a wedding venue.
Top of the list when it came to making a good decision about a care home they were considering 76% said they looked at the rating for that particular care home.
72% said that they had decided after seeing the care home for themselves.
