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 Evidence
What the review data, the inspection reports, and the dementia-care evidence base tell us about this home.
What families say
Families describe finding a warm atmosphere here, with staff who take time to chat and structured activities that keep days interesting. The option of spiritual care adds another layer of support for those who want it.

What inspectors found

Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The home was rated Good for Effective at its October 2025 assessment. This domain covers how well the home uses information about your parent to deliver care that actually works for them, including care plan quality, dementia training, nutrition, and healthcare access. The published summary does not provide specific examples of care plan content, GP visiting frequency, or dementia training curricula. The Good rating indicates inspectors found acceptable standards across these areas.Is this home caring?
The home was rated Outstanding for Caring at its October 2025 assessment. This is the highest rating available and indicates inspectors found compelling, specific evidence of staff warmth, dignity, and genuine respect for residents as individuals. Outstanding is awarded in fewer than one in ten care home inspections nationally. The published summary does not include the narrative detail that would describe exactly what inspectors observed, but the rating itself is a meaningful finding. The home's specialisms include dementia and mental health conditions, making the quality of interpersonal care particularly important.Is the home responsive?
The home was rated Good for Responsive at its October 2025 assessment. This domain covers whether the home treats your parent as an individual, whether activities are meaningful and varied, and whether complaints and end-of-life needs are handled well. The home lists dementia as a specialism alongside mental health conditions and physical disabilities, which makes the responsiveness of the programme to diverse needs particularly relevant. The published summary does not include specific examples of activities, individual engagement, or how the home supports people who cannot join group sessions.Is the home well-led?
The home was rated Good for Well-led at its October 2025 assessment. The registered manager is Mrs Dipika Badar-Ud-Din, and the nominated individual is Mrs Maureen Mary Sim. A Good Well-led rating indicates that governance systems, oversight, and the management culture were found to be adequate at the time of inspection. The published summary does not include specific detail about management visibility, staff empowerment, or how the home handles concerns raised by families. This is the home's first recorded inspection with domain-level ratings.

Worth a visit
Evington Home, run by Pilgrims' Friend Society on Grocot Road in Leicester, was assessed in October 2025 and rated Good overall, with an Outstanding rating for Caring. That Outstanding rating is the standout finding: inspectors only award it when they find clear, specific evidence that staff treat people with genuine warmth and respect, well beyond routine compliance. The remaining four domains, Safe, Effective, Responsive, and Well-led, were all rated Good. The home supports up to 30 people and specialises in dementia, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities alongside general care for older adults. The main limitation of this report for families is that the published summary is brief and does not include the detailed narrative that would let us verify specific practices such as night staffing ratios, agency cover, dementia-environment design, or how families are kept informed. The Outstanding Caring rating is a strong positive signal, but before making a decision, visit the home and ask the manager to show you the actual staffing rota from last week, including night shifts and the split between permanent and agency staff. Also ask how the team specifically supports residents with dementia when they become distressed, as the answer will tell you a great deal about how that Outstanding rating translates into daily life for your parent.
