Is OnCare Local only for in-home care or can it also be used to find other types of local care?
Currently OnCare Local is purely focused on in-home or 'domiciliary' care. However, we do aim to publicise care/nursing homes and other forms of care in the future.
Can I use OnCare Local to search for care anywhere in the UK?
OnCare Local currently only contains information about care providers in England, but we will be looking to work with data from the regulators in Wales, Scotland and Norther Ireland in the future.
What is the CQC?
The CQC is the Care Quality Commission - they regulate the care sector within England.
What is a CQC rating?
The CQC rating is a rating given to each care provider by the regulator (the CQC) and is based on a number of different evaluation criteria or 'key lines of enquiry'. You can find more details about what went into each care provider's rating by clicking the link to visit their 'CQC profile'.
What should I do if I spot incorrect information on OnCare Local?

Can I rate a care provider that I have used myself?
Not yet, but watch this space - we aim to include live consumer ratings alongside the regulator ratings in future versions of OnCare Local.

I am a care provider but I'm not yet listed on OnCare Local. How do I become listed?
