Questions about care in Cardiff
How many care homes are there in Cardiff?
There are 52 care homes in Cardiff registered with Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW), the regulator of social care in Wales. Between them they have 750 registered places.
How are care homes in Cardiff rated?
CIW rates each service on themes such as well-being and care and support, and gives no overall rating. 42 of them have ratings from CIW; the breakdown below counts each theme separately, in CIW’s own words. 10 have no ratings shown, because CIW has not published ratings for them yet. CIW data as at 14 October 2026. In Wales, CIW rates each service on themes, not as a whole: well-being, care and support, environment and leadership and management (the environment theme applies to care homes only). Each theme gets one of four ratings: Excellent, Good, Requires improvement or Requires significant improvement. It gives no overall rating, so we do not show one. Adult placement (Shared Lives) services are not rated. We show each rating as CIW publishes it and never turn it into a score of our own.
How do I choose a care home in Cardiff?
Start with the help the person needs now and might need later, and shortlist a few services near the people who will visit. Check each one’s latest CIW grades and how old it is, read its latest inspection report, and where you can, visit or meet the team more than once before you decide. Ask what is included in the fees and what happens if needs change. This is general information, not advice.
Who pays for care in Cardiff?
It depends on the person’s needs and finances. Some people pay for all of their own care, some get help from their council, and the NHS pays for some health care. The first step is to ask your local council for a free assessment of care needs: that is the council’s adult social care team. We do not show prices and this is general information, not advice.
How up to date is this information?
This page uses CIW data as at 14 October 2026. We check for new data from the regulator every day, and each service page shows the date of the data it uses.
Choosing care homes
A care home is a place to live where staff help with things like washing, dressing, eating and taking medicines, day and night. Care homes without nursing do not have a nurse on duty.
Things to check
- Visit more than once, at different times of day, and ask to see where meals are served.
- Ask how many staff are on duty at night, and how often agency staff are used.
- Ask what is included in the weekly fee and what costs extra, and how often fees can change.
- Read the latest CIW report, not only the rating, and ask the manager about anything it raises.
Whoever ends up paying, you can ask your council’s adult social care team for a free assessment of what help you need. Our guide explains what to expect and what to ask.
