Care homes rated Requires Improvement or Inadequate by the CQC can score 4.8 stars on Google. We measure that gap.
Every care home in the UK Care Transparency Index receives three independent scores. Together they tell families not only what the data shows, but the extent of the information gap.
Does publicly available information give families what they need to make a confident decision about this home? This is the primary score — the one that leads all CareBlueprint communications.
Does what families see online match what inspectors found? Scored 0–100 across four components: regulatory standing, review score alignment, inspection currency, and review volume and recency.
How much should families trust this assessment? Reflects the quality and volume of available data — inspection recency, review count, and review recency. Honest about the limits of the evidence as well as its findings.
Every home in the national study has been broken down into a complete city-level report — covering all nine English regions, with named case studies and full inspection and review data for every home. All nine city reports are available now.
