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.

Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
No domain-level detail for Effective is available in the published inspection findings for this home. The home specialised in care for adults over 65, people living with dementia, and people with physical disabilities, all of whom require well-evidenced, trained-staff care. The home has been deregistered and is no longer operating. No information about care plans, dementia training, GP access, medication management, or food quality is available from the inspection text provided.Is this home caring?
No specific observations about staff warmth, dignity, respect, or compassion are available from the published inspection findings for this home. The home's overall rating declined to Inadequate before it was deregistered. Staff warmth is the single largest driver of positive family satisfaction in our review data, appearing in 57.3% of positive reviews, and its absence from the published record here means nothing can be verified or confirmed.Is the home responsive?
No detail about activities, individual engagement, or responsiveness to personal preferences is available from the published inspection findings for this home. The home's registration has been cancelled and it is no longer operating. It is not possible to assess whether activities were meaningful, whether one-to-one engagement was offered to residents who could not join group sessions, or whether individual histories and preferences were reflected in daily life.Is the home well-led?
No specific detail about management, leadership culture, or governance is available from the published inspection findings for this home. The home declined from Good to Inadequate and was subsequently deregistered, which is a significant indicator that leadership and governance failed to sustain or recover adequate standards. The nominated individual listed is Ms Clare Shann of St. Vincent Care Homes Limited, but no inspection observations about management visibility, staff empowerment, or learning from incidents are available.

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
This home received an overall Inadequate rating at its last inspection in September 2023 and has since been deregistered and archived. There is insufficient published inspection detail across any domain to give families meaningful confidence in any area of care.
Homes in South East typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
This home, located at 20-22 Broadway, Sandown, was rated Inadequate at its last inspection in September 2023, a significant decline from its previous rating of Good. All five domains were assessed but no domain-level detail is available in the published findings provided. The home has since been deregistered by the regulator and was formally archived on 5 January 2026, meaning it is no longer operating as a registered care home. This home is not currently available to your parent and should not be considered as an option. If you are looking for a care home in the Sandown area for a parent living with dementia or a physical disability, you will need to look elsewhere. The deregistration following an Inadequate rating is a serious regulatory outcome, and the published record here does not offer any evidence of the strengths or standards your parent deserves.
