Questions

List of UK care homes — your questions answered.

How many care homes are there in the UK?

The CQC register lists 56,812 registered locations across England, of which roughly 14,800 are care homes — residential and nursing homes combined. The wider register also covers domiciliary care agencies, GP practices, dental surgeries and other health and social care services. CareDex covers the full England register; the CQC regulates England only.

Is this list of care homes up to date?

Yes. CareDex pulls delta updates from the CQC syndication API twice daily, refreshes the full register weekly and ratings monthly. Around 200 new locations register every 30 days, and each one appears in the register the day after it is published.

Can I download or export the list of care homes?

Yes. Inside the app you can filter the register to your exact criteria and export the result to CSV, with CQC location IDs intact so records stay matched as the register changes. Exporting and the full working list are available on the free 14-day trial — no card required.

Where does the care home data come from?

Every record comes from the Care Quality Commission's official open data, published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. CareDex restructures it for browsing, filtering and export. We are an independent service, not affiliated with or endorsed by the CQC.
