CQC
The Care Quality Commission provides the official England backbone for regulated care homes, homecare agencies, providers, service types and ratings.
Data sources
Official and public sources turned into care-sector intelligence.
CareHomeData uses regulator data as the backbone, then layers public-register matching, planning signals and organisation-published evidence into a protected BI product.
Companies House and public registers
Company identity, officers, PSCs, filings, charities and controller signals help map provider ownership and organisation context.
Planning and property signals
Planning applications can show new supply, extensions, redevelopment and change-of-use before a new CQC registration appears.
Source boundaries
CQC does not provide care-home or homecare agency email addresses in its care directory. Contact routes must be enriched separately from provider-published websites or other lawful public and organisation-published sources.
Planning applications are treated as evidence-backed signals, not proof that a future care service will open. Every planning record should retain the local authority, application reference, proposal text and source URL.
