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.

The Caring domain was rated Good. No specific inspector observations, resident quotes, or family testimony are recorded in the published inspection text. The Good rating indicates that inspectors were satisfied with how staff treated the people living there, but the evidence supporting that conclusion is not available in the published report.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good. The home is registered for dementia care and for adults with physical disabilities, covering a wide range of needs. The published inspection text does not include specific detail on activity programmes, one-to-one engagement, how individual preferences shape daily routines, or how the home supports people at the end of life.Is the home well-led?

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
Dearbourne Manor was rated Good across all five inspection domains, which is a positive baseline. However, the published inspection text contains very little specific detail, so most scores sit in the 50-60 range reflecting a confirmed Good rating without the specific observations, quotes, or examples that would push them higher.
Homes in South West typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
Dearbourne Manor, on Southmead Road in Bristol, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its most recent inspection in June 2023. The home provides nursing and personal care for up to 62 people, including those living with dementia and those with physical disabilities, for adults of varying ages. A registered manager is named in the inspection record, and the provider is Cedar Care Homes Limited. A stable Good rating across every domain is a positive starting point. The main limitation here is that the published inspection text is very sparse, containing almost no specific observations, quotes from residents or families, or detail about day-to-day practice. A Good rating tells you the home met the required standard, but it does not tell you what it feels like to live there. Before making a decision, visit in person, ask to see the actual staffing rota for last week (including nights), ask how many shifts were covered by agency staff in the past month, and spend time in a communal area watching how staff interact with your parent's potential neighbours. The checklist above identifies 20 areas the inspection did not cover in detail, all of which are worth raising directly with the manager.
