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.

Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Outstanding. This domain covers training and competency, care planning, access to healthcare professionals, nutrition and hydration, and whether care achieves good outcomes. Dementia is listed as a specialism, and an Outstanding rating in this domain requires inspectors to see specific evidence of dementia training being applied in practice, not just certificates on a wall. Care plans must be detailed and individualised to meet this standard. The home's broad range of specialisms, including learning disabilities and mental health conditions alongside dementia, means staff need substantial knowledge across different conditions.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Outstanding. This is the domain most directly linked to what families experience when they visit: whether staff are warm, unhurried, and genuinely attentive to the people they support. An Outstanding rating here requires inspectors to observe specific interactions, speak with residents and relatives, and find consistent evidence of dignity, privacy, and respectful communication. The home supports people with dementia and mental health conditions, where non-verbal communication and an unhurried approach are particularly important. The published summary does not reproduce specific quotes or observations from the inspection report, which limits the detail available here.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Outstanding. This covers whether the home tailors its care to each individual, whether activities are meaningful rather than simply scheduled, whether complaints are handled well, and whether end-of-life care is personalised. An Outstanding rating requires specific evidence in each of these areas. The home's range of specialisms means it must demonstrate responsiveness to people with very different needs and communication styles, including those who cannot express preferences verbally. The published summary does not detail the specific activity programme or describe the approach to end-of-life care.Is the home well-led?
The Well-Led domain was rated Outstanding, and the registered manager is named in the published record. The home is run by Landermead Investments Limited, with a named registered manager and nominated individual. An Outstanding Well-Led rating requires inspectors to find a stable, visible, and accountable management culture where staff feel supported to speak up and where governance systems genuinely drive improvement. The home's trajectory from Requires Improvement to Outstanding across all domains is itself a leadership indicator: that kind of sustained improvement does not happen without consistent and capable management. The inspection was conducted in December 2019, and the last data review was July 2023.

What the evidence base says
The team here supports people across different life stages and needs, from younger adults with learning disabilities or mental health conditions to older residents needing physical care or living with dementia. For residents with dementia, the home provides specialist support alongside their broader care approach. The team understands the importance of creating a calm, familiar environment for people navigating memory loss. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.
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
Landermeads Care Home achieved Outstanding across all five inspection domains, a rating held by fewer than 5% of care homes in England. The Family Score of 91 reflects that strength, though the inspection was conducted in December 2019, meaning families should verify that the same quality has been maintained across the years since.
Homes in East Midlands typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
Landermeads Care Home at 265 High Road, Nottingham was rated Outstanding across all five inspection domains at its inspection in December 2019, a published report following in March 2020. This places it among a very small group of homes in England to achieve the highest possible rating in every area assessed. The inspection also recorded a significant improvement from a previous rating of Requires Improvement, which speaks to sustained leadership effort rather than a home that simply coasted to a good result. The registered manager and nominated individual are named in the published record, suggesting a stable and accountable leadership structure. The main uncertainty here is time. The inspection was conducted in December 2019, more than five years ago. A review of available data was carried out in July 2023 and did not trigger a reassessment, but that review is itself now nearly two years old. Outstanding homes do maintain their quality, but staffing, management, and ownership can all shift. When you visit, ask to see the current staffing rota for a typical week, ask how long the registered manager has been in post, and ask what has changed since the last inspection. The quality you are reading about was real; your job is to confirm it still is.
