New Tool: Care Home Data

The landscape of elderly care is changing - and developers need to keep up

With an ageing population and increasing demand for fit-for-purpose care homes, the elderly care sector presents a significant opportunity for developers and investors. But historically, finding and analysing care home data has been time-consuming, fragmented, and expensive.

You might spot a care home on the map, but getting deeper insight - ownership type, number of beds, CQC ratings, or fee data - often means buying an expensive report from a third-party provider, or manually cross-referencing government datasets. For a fast-moving industry, that’s too slow.

The pain: sourcing care home development opportunities shouldn't be this hard

Developers and investors operating in the elderly care space face the same challenges time and again:

• Lack of detail: Most mapping platforms only show a pin for a care home, with little to no useful information.
• Time drain: Piecing together ownership, care type, ratings, and fees requires endless clicks and digging through outdated PDFs.
• No way to compare areas: Want to know where the demand is greatest, or where underperforming homes are located? Good luck.
• Overpriced reports: Want a full market view? Prepare to buy expensive, one-size-fits-all reports that quickly go out of date.

These blockers slow down decisions and cause missed opportunities in a growing sector.

Searchland’s Elderly Care tool: real insight, right when you need it

We’ve completely reimagined how care home data should work for property developers.

With Searchland’s new Elderly Care tool, you can now explore all 11,200+ CQC-regulated care homes in England in our map-based tool, broken down by:

• Type of care (Nursing, Residential, Shared Lives, Extra Care Housing)
• Ownership (private, charity, organisation)
• CQC Ratings (including detailed rating breakdowns)
• Number of beds
• Registration year (with tags for pre-2010 care homes)
• Minimum fees per week (where available)
• Specialisms (Dementia care, Physical disability, etc.)
• Provider information including contact details, brand, website, and services offered
  ‍

You’ll also get graphical views of care home ownership types, average ratings, and demographic filters showing the percentage of people aged 65+ or 85+ in a given area - perfect for macro-level analysis and business case building.

Need to know how close your site is to a highly-rated care home, or how a particular borough stacks up on elderly care provision? You can now filter by distance to nearest care home and by rating tiers.

And of course, it’s all updated monthly with data straight from the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Searchland’s Elderly Care Tool is now live for Pro users. Whether you're sourcing sites, assessing underperforming care homes, or identifying areas with unmet need - you now have the data to act with confidence.
