The Care Quality Commission
All care homes in the United Kingdom have to be registered with the Care Quality Commission, or CQC. The Care Quality Commission is an independent body. It inspects and reports on care services and councils across the country.
The CQC also inspects all care homes. You can see what inspectors have said about each care home by contacting the CQC or visiting their website.
