Care Home Operator Resources
A working library for UK care home operators: facts, frameworks, contacts. We don’t sell anything in this section. We’re putting it together because operators repeatedly ask us for the same handful of things and we’d rather make them findable than email them around.
Operations
- Evidence and audit software: comparative review of the major CQC evidence platforms used in England and how the Scottish/Welsh/NI equivalents handle the same job.
- Insurance for care home operators: public liability, abuse, regulatory defence, the brokers that actually understand the sector.
Workforce
- Recruitment, retention and the sponsor licence: Skilled Worker visa changes, agency cap, retention pay levers that actually move a leaver decision.
Funding and contracts
- Local authority fee negotiation: what a good fee uplift letter looks like, the data your council uses, when to escalate to the LGSCO.
We add to these pages as we learn more. If you operate a home and want to contribute or correct something, we’d like to hear from you.
