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.

Worth a visit
Rawcliffe Manor in York was rated Good across all five domains at its inspection on 13 July 2023, with the report published in August 2023. The home is registered to care for up to 72 people, including those living with dementia, physical disabilities, and sensory impairments, and is run by Yorkare Homes (Rawcliffe) Ltd with a named registered manager in post. A Good rating across every domain is a meaningful baseline and places the home among the better-performing care homes in its area. However, the published inspection text available for this report is limited, meaning specific evidence about what daily life looks and feels like for your parent is not in the public record. This is not a cause for alarm, but it does mean you need to gather that detail yourself. Before deciding, visit in person at different times of day, ask to see last week's actual staffing rota (not a template), and ask the manager to describe what a typical Tuesday looks like for a resident living with dementia. The questions in the checklist below are your guide to filling the gaps the published report leaves open.
