5 practical tips for choosing the right Care Home

19th June 2025

Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make for your elderly relatives.

Here are five practical tips to help you:

  • Visit in Person – Take time to visit. Feel the atmosphere. Are residents engaged and comfortable?
  • Ask About Care Philosophy – Does the home value dignity, individual needs, and family involvement?
  • Check Staff Interaction – Warm, respectful relationships between staff and residents are key.
  • Look at Activities – A meaningful daily life goes beyond meals and medication. Are there hobbies and social moments?
  • Trust Your Instinct – Sometimes, it simply feels right. Listen to that feeling.
