Why care homes are missing from B2B databases
11,300care homes for older people in the UK, run by 5,500 providersCompetition and Markets Authority, 2017
Contact databases are assembled from what companies publish about themselves: professional profiles, funding rounds, tech stacks, hiring pages. A care home is the opposite kind of business. Its residents arrive through families, GPs and local authority placement teams, its reputation is local, and the company behind it is very often a private limited company with two directors and no marketing budget. That business model produces almost none of the web signals a profile-derived database collects. What it does produce is a public registration, an inspection report with a rating, filed accounts and a rota that has to be staffed. Regulators publish the first two, Companies House publishes the third and job boards carry the fourth, and none of those are where a contact database looks.
Figures as of August 2026.

Frequently asked questions.
Start from the regulator rather than a database. Every care home in the UK is registered with the CQC in England, the Care Inspectorate in Scotland, Care Inspectorate Wales or RQIA in Northern Ireland, and each register lists the home, its registered provider and its bed numbers. Causo reads those registers alongside Companies House, inspection reports and council care directories, so a home with no marketing presence is as findable as one with a website.
Those databases are assembled largely from professional profiles and web signals that skew heavily toward software and services. Around 80% of UK care home providers run a single home, and a two-director private company with 50 beds usually has no profile to scrape, so it never enters the database and no filter will surface it.
The operator, why it matched, the evidence behind that with its source, and the decision maker with a verified email address. You can then ask follow-up questions about any result, such as how many beds it has or which group it belongs to, and get answers with sources attached.
Yes, in plain English. Neither is a field in any contact database, so Causo works them out from the regulator register and published inspection reports rather than looking them up.
It is read at the moment you search rather than pulled from a stored snapshot, so a home registered last month or a manager added to the register in April appears in this month’s results.
Yes. The sources differ by country, so Causo uses the local equivalents: in the United States that is CMS Care Compare and the state licensing boards, and elsewhere it is the national care regulator, the company registry and whatever inspection records that jurisdiction publishes.
It depends on the size of the operator. At a single home it is usually the owner or the registered manager. At a group of three or more it is more often a head of operations, a group director or a quality lead, and the registered manager is the person who has to live with the decision. Causo surfaces the role alongside the home so you can tell which of those you are looking at.
