Whereforcare.co.uk - Quality Care Homes

WhereforCare.co.uk is the first 'care homes ratings' service, where care homes are rated by those who have used them, so that when others come to find them, they will be ranked according to quality of care. If you are looking for a place where to go for care, with this site you can search for care homes all over the UK by searching by county. The search will bring you all kind of comments of people that already had some experiences with those care homes so it makes your choice easier. On the other hand, if you are a care home owner, you can submit all the information about it to make it known by the users of the site. There is also a News section, where all the latest news about health are provided.

"The U.K is crying out for a website like this- 1 in 5 people over 65 will end up living in a care home and apart from directories with huge lists of homes, there is currently nothing to give anyone direction about what may constitute good care as opposed to bad." The website is looking to extend to Ireland and the US by the end of 2007

The website could become the number one source of information for care on the web- no small feat for a market currently worth £10 billion and expected to be worth £40 billion by 2040.

Are they planning to extend this service to other countries, especially USA?
