Dementia care should adapt to the person’s history, routines, communication and changing needs. A CQC rating is useful evidence, but it does not by itself show whether a home is the right environment for a particular person. Some dementia care homes are residential homes, others also provide 24-hour nursing care for people with clinical needs, so confirm that the home can support the person’s diagnosis, communication, mobility, medicines and likely future needs.
13 dementia care homes in Forest of Dean are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).
