This is a list by number of reviews, not a quality ranking: a rating and a review count do not settle the quality of care. Read the reviews on the home's profile and visit in person before deciding.

Ask how the home keeps safe residents who may wander or get lost (for example secured exits, monitoring, a fenced garden), whether the staff have experience with dementia, what activities and calm daily routines are offered, and whether a doctor and a nurse are available on site. It helps to visit at different times of day. More guidance in our article: A Care Home for Someone With Dementia: What to Check.

A private care home usually asks for the ID of the senior and of the person representing the family, current medical records with a list of medication, and a document confirming income, such as the pension decision. Add a disability certificate if the senior has one, and a power of attorney where one is needed. Admission to a public social welfare home (DPS) also needs a referral decision from the social welfare centre. Each home gives its own exact list, and we describe the steps in our guide: Admission to a Care Home: The Paperwork and Contract.
