What’s inside
- A structured page per home, so every visit is recorded the same way
- The questions worth asking on a visit — about staffing, activities, food, and how concerns get handled
- What to look for beyond the obvious — the things that matter once someone actually moves in
- A simple way to note costs and funding details alongside your impressions
- Space to record your gut feeling too — the practical and the emotional both matter here
This is general guidance to help you compare options, not a recommendation of any specific home. The Care Compass never endorses individual providers.
Created by Steve Evans after navigating his mum’s dementia and his dad’s terminal illness. These are the practical pages he wished his own family had ready. Read our story
