Common problem
Cold, institutional design
Generic templates look like a hospital, not a home. Families choosing a care home are making one of the most emotionally significant decisions of their lives — the website needs to feel warm, trustworthy, and human.
Common problem
CQC rating buried or missing
The CQC rating is the single most important credential a care home has. If it is buried in a PDF or absent entirely, families immediately move on. It needs to be prominent, current, and linked to the full report.
Common problem
No virtual tour
For families with elderly relatives who cannot travel easily, a virtual tour is the difference between an enquiry and being dismissed. Homes without one lose families who never make it to the in-person visit.
Common problem
Hard to enquire under stress
Families searching for care home places are often doing so in a crisis — a hospital discharge, a fall, a sudden decline. A site with no online enquiry, no availability indicator, and no visit booking forces an already-stressed family to make a cold call.
What we build
Built specifically for
care homes, not adapted from a template.
Eight specialist features for care home websites — from CQC compliance to AI search visibility — all built in-house in London.
01
CQC Rating & Inspection Display
Prominent, up-to-date CQC rating badge, inspection report summary, and direct link to the full report on the CQC website. Displayed above the fold — because it is the first thing every family checks before making contact.
02
Virtual Tour Integration
360° or video-led tour of bedrooms, communal areas, gardens, and dining room — for families who cannot visit in person initially. Reduces anxiety, increases enquiry confidence, and expands your catchment area to families further afield.
03
Resident Life & Activities Pages
Gallery and calendar of activities showing daily life, outings, and events — not stock photos. Real photos of real residents (with consent) build the emotional connection that drives a visit booking.
04
Fee Transparency Page
Clear guide to care costs — weekly fee ranges, what is included, self-funding versus local authority funding, Continuing Healthcare, and how to arrange a needs assessment. Transparent pricing reduces enquiry friction and builds trust.
05
Staff & Leadership Profiles
Home manager, deputy manager, care team leads, and activities co-ordinator profiles — qualifications, background, and a personal note. The human face of your home before a family visits.
06
Online Enquiry & Visit Booking
Structured enquiry form with care type and urgency indicators, plus a visit booking calendar — available 24/7, which is when families in crisis situations often research. Every submission is GDPR-compliant and routed to the home manager.
07
Local SEO Architecture
Ranked for "care home [borough]", "dementia care London", "residential care near [area]" — dedicated location and care type pages, LocalBusiness schema, Google Business Profile alignment, and review strategy for Google Maps visibility.
08
AIEO Optimisation
Families and social workers increasingly use ChatGPT and Perplexity for "best care homes in [area] London" queries. We structure your content with FAQ passages, entity clarity, and authority signals so AI engines cite your home in their answers.
Care types covered
We build pages for every
type of care you provide.
Each care type gets its own dedicated, SEO-optimised page — not a bullet point in a services list. Families searching for specialist care need to find specific information quickly. Google rewards depth. Families reward clarity.
Not on the list? We cover all care types — bring yours to the discovery call.
Why it matters
Families choose care homes they found and trusted online.
The decision to place a loved one in a care home is one of the most significant a family will ever make. Families do not choose the care home with the most features on the website. They choose the one that made them feel, within the first 30 seconds, that their parent would be safe, cared for, and happy.
Trust is built through transparency — CQC ratings, real photos, staff profiles, honest fee information, and genuine reviews. We engineer these signals into the architecture of every page.
CQC transparency
Current CQC rating displayed prominently with a link to the full inspection report and a plain-English summary of key findings. Families who find this instantly are families who stay on the site.
Real photos
Genuine photos of residents, staff, and activities — with appropriate consent — convey warmth that stock images never can. We advise on photo brief and consent process.
Staff credentials
Manager profiles with NMC registration numbers, care qualifications, and tenure reassure families that the home is professionally led. Anonymous leadership is a trust red flag.
Review aggregation
Google reviews, carehome.co.uk, and CareHomeAdvisor ratings displayed and linked — social proof from families who have made the same decision reduces the anxiety of the enquiry.
“North London care home reaches full occupancy within 8 weeks of site relaunch.”
A full website rebuild for a 40-bed residential care home in North London — new CQC rating display, virtual tour integration, fee transparency page, staff profiles, care type pages, and AIEO-structured FAQ content. Full occupancy achieved within 8 weeks of launch.

FAQs
Questions from
care homes.
How do you display the CQC rating on a care home website?
We display the CQC rating badge prominently on the homepage — typically in the hero section or below it — alongside a link to the full CQC inspection report on the CQC website. We also include a short plain-English summary of key inspection findings (what inspectors found well-led, responsive, safe, effective, and caring) so families can review the detail without leaving the site. The rating is one of the first things a family checks, so it needs to be impossible to miss.
How do you handle GDPR for care home websites?
Care home websites handle sensitive personal data — enquiries about vulnerable adults, health conditions, and funding situations. Every enquiry form we build includes explicit consent checkboxes, a clear data retention notice, and routing to a secure admin inbox. We configure a GDPR-compliant cookie consent manager so no tracking scripts load before user consent. We also build a GDPR-compliant privacy policy page and advise on Data Protection Impact Assessment obligations for health-related data processing.
Can you integrate a virtual tour into a care home website?
Yes. We integrate 360° tours (via Matterport, Google Street View, or similar platforms) and video-led walkthroughs directly into the relevant pages — bedroom page, communal areas, gardens, dining room. We can also build a dedicated "virtual tour" page that sequences the tour with contextual copy about each area. If you do not have existing tour assets, we can recommend photographers and tour production companies in London who specialise in care homes.
How transparent should a care home website be about fees?
Completely transparent. Families researching care for an elderly relative are almost always researching costs alongside quality. A care home website that does not mention fees forces families to make a cold call — and many will not. A fee transparency page with clear weekly fee ranges, what is included, and guidance on self-funding versus local authority funding and NHS Continuing Healthcare significantly increases enquiry volume and quality. We build this page as a standard deliverable on Premium and Group projects.
How do you build a visit booking system for a care home?
We build a visit booking form that captures the family member's name, the prospective resident's care needs and urgency, and preferred visiting times. For homes with a complex availability calendar, we can integrate with scheduling tools including Calendly and Microsoft Bookings. The booking confirmation email provides the home's address, parking instructions, and a named point of contact for the visit — reducing anxiety at every step of the process.
Can you build a website for a care home group with multiple locations?
Yes. Group sites have a different architecture: a central group homepage with brand values, CQC overview, and group-level credentials, plus individual home pages each with their own local SEO, CQC rating, care type detail, virtual tour, and enquiry form. Each home page ranks independently for its local borough searches. We have built group sites for providers operating between 3 and 25 homes across London and the UK.
How do you handle dementia care pages specifically?
Dementia care pages require a different tone and content structure. Families searching for dementia care are often in distress — the content needs to be calming, clear, and reassuring. We build dedicated dementia care pages that cover the specific adaptations your home has made (dementia-friendly layouts, sensory rooms, specialist staff training), the activities programme for dementia residents, and the family support you offer. These pages are SEO-optimised for "dementia care London", "dementia care home [borough]", and related terms.
How does a care home website improve local Google visibility?
Local visibility for care homes is driven by three factors: your Google Business Profile, your on-page local SEO, and your Google review count. We optimise all three. For your website, we build location-specific pages for every borough you serve (not thin duplicate pages — substantive content about your proximity to that area and the families you serve there), add LocalBusiness schema with care home sub-type, and align your NAP (name, address, phone) across your site and all care directory listings. Google Maps visibility follows.
How much does a care home website cost?
A professional care home website with CQC display, online enquiry, and basic SEO typically costs from £4,000. A full trust-architecture site with virtual tour, fee transparency, staff profiles, and local SEO costs from £7,000. Group websites for multi-home providers start from £12,000. We provide a flat written quote after a free discovery call — no hourly estimates.
How long does it take to build a care home website?
A standard care home website — homepage, care types, CQC display, staff profiles, and enquiry form — takes 3–5 weeks. A larger site with virtual tour integration, multiple care type pages, activities gallery, and fee guidance takes 6–8 weeks. We agree a firm timeline in the proposal with milestone dates you can plan around.
Can you redesign an existing care home site without losing our Google rankings?
Yes. Every redesign includes a pre-launch SEO audit, 301 redirect mapping from old URLs to new, schema preservation, and post-launch monitoring in Google Search Console. We do not launch without confirming every ranking page has a redirect and the new page has equivalent on-page signals.
Do you require a deposit or upfront payment?
No. We work on a milestone payment model — you pay at agreed project checkpoints, only after reviewing and approving each deliverable. No deposit, no prepayment, no risk. This is our standard model for every project.
