Who We Are
UK Dementia Care is run by a team of care industry professionals with over 20 years of combined experience in the UK care sector. Our team includes former care home managers, CQC inspectors, and healthcare policy advisors who have seen first-hand how difficult it can be for families to find the right dementia care.
We built this site because we believe every family deserves clear, honest, and up-to-date information when making one of the most important decisions of their lives.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: help families across the UK find the best possible dementia care for their loved ones. We do this by making CQC data accessible, comparing care providers, and publishing practical guides written by people who truly understand the sector.
How We Work
We source our care provider data directly from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England. Every listing on our site includes the provider's latest CQC rating, inspection history, and key findings.
- Weekly updates — We check for new CQC inspections and rating changes every week to keep our data as current as possible.
- Detailed scorecards — Each care provider has a clear scorecard showing their rating across all CQC assessment categories.
- Plain-English summaries — We translate inspection reports into clear, jargon-free language so families can make informed decisions.
Data Sources
All CQC data used on this site is published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. We are committed to accuracy and transparency in how we present this information. If you notice any discrepancy between our data and the official CQC record, please contact us and we will investigate promptly.
Editorial Policy
All guides, articles, and care advice on this site are written or reviewed by qualified care professionals. We do not accept payment for inclusion in our directory or for improved ratings. Our editorial process is independent — we will never recommend a provider we wouldn't trust with our own families.
If a care provider wishes to highlight additional information about their services, they can do so through our For Providers page.
