Empowering families through CareFind.com

Finding the right care home for an older adult can be overwhelming. That’s why NHS North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) created CareFind.com (opens new window) — a free, easy-to-use website that helps families search for care homes across England.

Supported by the Department of Health and Social Care, CareFind.com is free from advertising and commercial influence. Every provider is represented equally, giving users impartial, accurate and up-to-date information they can trust.

Built around the principles of Dignity in Care, CareFind.com supports informed choice, respect and autonomy. It was co-designed with care home providers and members of the public to ensure it meets the needs of both those seeking care and those delivering it.

Users can view current room availability, indicative costs and detailed service information. Providers update their listings regularly, so families can make timely decisions with confidence. The site also includes helpful checklists and FAQs developed with adult social care commissioners and providers.

CareFind.com is continually evolving. In the coming months, we’ll be expanding to include home care providers — offering even more choice and support for families navigating adult social care.

Visit CareFind.com to explore your options and make informed decisions with dignity at the heart.
