Once you have made the decision to move yourself, or a loved one,
into a care home you need to begin the process of choosing the right
one for you. Your local council can help you choose a care home and, after a financial assessment, may contribute towards the cost. If possible you should visit care homes that you are considering to make sure they meet your current
and possible future needs. Finding the right care home can take some time. 

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspects all registered care homes and writes a report on what they find. Reading the reports of the care homes you are considering might help you make a choice - you can read them online on the CQC website.
