  • Care homes added to NHS comparison website

    The performance of every care home in England can now be compared on an NHS website.
    Homes have been added to My NHS, part the NHS Choices site, allowing users to leave ratings and reviews to help other people assess services.
    Each care home is scored on its level of safety, staff turnover and food hygiene, among other standards.
    A database can be searched using a postcode, region or home name to check on facilities with or without nursing.
    People can access:
    • user reviews - including star ratings
    • Care Quality Commission inspection ratings of care homes
    • Food Hygiene Standard rating
    • levels of staff turnover
    • whether the home has a registered manager in post
    • key information such as location, services on offer, contact details

    Health Minister Alistair Burt said: "We know how difficult important decisions about care for a loved one can be - this is a victory for those who are worried about care - with a click of a button the public will be able to make an informed choice about care and make those difficult decisions easier.
    "This data will show clearly the difference in quality across care homes and will help drive up standards by highlighting poor performers which will mean they have to shape up their services or lose out."
