CareHomes.Wales
The CareHomes.Wales website contains information about every adult care homes in Wales, drawing information from both Care Inspectorate Wales and directly from care home providers.
As a minimum, for each care home you’ll find information about the type of care provided, its location and contact details, plus information about its registration and links to the most recent inspection report. Importantly, you’ll be able to see if the home has any vacancies – this information is updated regularly by the homes.
