What's in our care homes data list
The list covers residential care homes for older people and for adults with learning disabilities, mental health needs or physical disabilities. Homes range from small family-run homes with a handful of beds to large sites owned by national groups. Nursing homes, which have registered nurses on site, are kept as a separate category, so you can add them or leave them out.

Who buys care homes data, and why
Care homes run around the clock and must meet strict standards set by the care regulators: the CQC in England, the Care Inspectorate in Scotland, Care Inspectorate Wales and the RQIA in Northern Ireland. They buy staff, equipment, software and services all year round.
| Who buys it | What they use it for |
|---|---|
| Care staffing and nursing agencies | Fill carer, senior carer and nurse shifts, and offer permanent recruitment. |
| Medical, PPE and continence suppliers | Sell gloves, aprons, continence products and clinical consumables. |
| Care software providers | Sell digital care planning, electronic medication records (eMAR) and rota software. |
| Training providers | Offer the Care Certificate, moving and handling, medication and dementia training. |
| Mobility and equipment suppliers | Sell hoists, profiling beds, pressure care and nurse call systems, with servicing. |
| Food, catering and laundry suppliers | Supply meals, catering equipment and commercial laundry machines. |
| Facilities and compliance firms | Offer fire safety, legionella testing, maintenance and cleaning. |
| Insurance, energy and finance brokers | Care homes are high-usage, high-risk sites, so insurance and energy costs matter. |
Who you'll reach
Named contacts in the care homes data list are the people who run the home or buy for it, usually:
- Registered manager or home manager
- Owner or director
- Deputy manager
- Area or regional manager (care groups)
- Procurement or operations director (care groups)
Using a care homes data list legally
Most care homes are run by limited companies or charities, but some are run by individual owners or partnerships:
- Limited companies, charities and other organisations are "corporate subscribers". You can email them without prior consent if you say who you are and give an easy way to opt out. Check numbers against the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (CTPS) before calling.
- Sole traders and partnerships are treated as individuals. You need their consent before sending marketing emails or texts, and you must check their numbers against the Telephone Preference Service (TPS).
- Post can be sent to any care home, as long as you say who you are and honour requests to stop.
Care homes look after vulnerable people, so keep calls short and polite and avoid busy times such as mealtimes and shift changes.
