STAGE 4 — RESEARCHING CARE HOMES
Visit homes. Compare them side by side. Choose with confidence.
Most of us will view care homes the way we view houses, impression, atmosphere, the feeling in the corridor. We go home, try to remember what we saw, and make a permanent decision from a blurred memory.
The DCC shortlist gives every home you visit a structured record: the same twelve questions, answered the same way, every time. When you’re ready to choose, pull any two homes side by side and compare them directly. Same criteria, same evidence, your notes and your scores.
The Evidence
What the review data, the inspection reports, and the dementia-care evidence base tell us about this home.
What families say
Before anyone moves in, even for respite, staff from the home visit families at their own house. This personal touch helps everyone feel more comfortable about the transition. The atmosphere inside feels calm and welcoming, with residents appearing settled and well-cared-for.

Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good at the June 2019 inspection. This covers training, care planning, healthcare access, nutrition, and how well the home works with other services such as GPs. Dementia is listed as a specialism, which means inspectors would have expected to see evidence of dementia-specific training and care planning. No specific examples of training content, care plan quality, or GP access arrangements are included in the published summary.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Good at the June 2019 inspection. This domain covers how staff interact with residents, whether dignity and privacy are respected, and whether people are supported to maintain their independence. No inspector observations about staff interactions, no resident quotes, and no specific examples of dignified care practice are included in the published summary. The monitoring review in 2023 found no concerns.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good at the June 2019 inspection. This covers activities and engagement, whether care is tailored to individual needs and preferences, complaints handling, and end-of-life planning. No specific activities are described, no individual examples of person-centred responsiveness are given, and no information about end-of-life care arrangements is included in the published summary.Is the home well-led?

What the evidence base says
The home welcomes both younger adults with physical disabilities and older residents, including those living with dementia. They're also equipped to support people with sensory impairments. For families navigating dementia, the home provides specialist care alongside their regular respite services. Staff understand the unique challenges dementia brings and work to keep residents feeling secure. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.
The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
Leawood Manor scored Good across all five inspection domains, which is a positive baseline, but the inspection is now over five years old and the published findings contain limited specific detail to support higher scores in any theme.
Homes in East Midlands typically score 68–82.The three-lens summary
What families tell us
Before anyone moves in, even for respite, staff from the home visit families at their own house. This personal touch helps everyone feel more comfortable about the transition. The atmosphere inside feels calm and welcoming, with residents appearing settled and well-cared-for.
What inspectors have recorded
Staff take time to understand each resident's medical needs and mobility challenges. Families report seeing real improvements during respite stays, with their loved ones returning home steadier on their feet and in better spirits.
How it sits against good practice
Sometimes the best recommendation is when someone chooses to come back.
Worth a visit
Leawood Manor, on Hilton Crescent in Nottingham, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its last official inspection, carried out on 4 June 2019 and published on 26 July 2019. A subsequent monitoring review in July 2023 found no evidence to change that rating. The home is registered to care for up to 79 people, including those living with dementia, physical disabilities, and sensory impairment, and is run by Runwood Homes Limited. The key uncertainty here is age. The last full inspection is now more than five years old, and the published summary contains very little specific detail: no inspector observations, no resident or family quotes, and no specific figures for staffing, activities, or food. A Good rating from 2019 tells you the home met the required standard then, but a great deal can change in five years, including management, staffing, and occupancy. Before choosing this home for your parent, visit in person, ask to see the current staffing rota, speak to families of people already living there, and ask what has changed since 2019.
