Yes, Nestor’s services are entirely free for seniors and their families. From exploring care options to finding the right care home, our support comes with no cost or obligation.

When a family chooses to move into a care home through our platform, certain providers may pay Nestor a referral fee. This allows us to offer our guidance at no expense to you.

When should you put someone into a care home?

A care home might be the right choice for someone who can no longer manage safely at home, even with support from loved ones or professional carers. Individuals with complex medical needs requiring specialized, 24-hour attention may also benefit from moving into a care home.

Many people undergo a care needs assessment, which may determine that a care home is the most suitable option for their well-being.

How do I find a good care home?

Start by considering your preferred location, specific care needs, and budget. Create a shortlist of care homes in your desired area, explore their websites, and arrange visits. Consulting family and friends for recommendations, as well as checking online reviews and official inspection ratings, can also be helpful.

Nestor simplifies this process with our care home finder, designed to help you locate the ideal care home with ease.
