Residential services in England

Bed count is the only honest guide to how much staff a home needs

A residential service registered for six beds and one registered for eighty are not the same commercial opportunity, and treating them alike is why most care lists disappoint.

Why we lead on beds

The register records the maximum number of service places a location is registered for. It is the single field that scales with everything a home has to buy: care staff, nurses, laundry, catering, furniture, consumables. We publish it on every residential record rather than burying it, because a supplier who cannot see it is guessing. Roughly a fifth of genuinely new adult social care registrations each month are care homes; the rest are community services with no beds at all.

What we separate out

Care homes with nursing
Registered for nursing care, so they must employ registered nurses, not only care staff.
Care homes without nursing
Residential only. A different staffing profile and a different buyer.
Small registrations
Two and three bed services are common and are usually supported living in a house, not a home.
Dormant locations
Registered but not currently operating. Flagged, never counted as live.
