Methodology

The headline figure (26) is an exact count of CQC-registered locations of service type β€œResidential homes” in the London region, summed from the local-authority records in the Care Quality Commission register. The England total (243) is the sum of this one service type across the nine English regions, which are disjoint β€” each location sits in exactly one region. The national average (27) is that England total divided by the 9 regions that list this service type. We never sum different service types together, because a single location can hold more than one. CQC publishes a categorical inspection scheme (Outstanding / Good / Requires improvement / Inadequate), never a 0–5 numeric scale, so this page shows no average rating and no AggregateRating. Figures reflect the CQC register as of 2026-06-12.
