Carehome.co.uk Scraper

Every UK care home on carehome.co.uk as a clean dataset row: address and postcode, review score, the latest reviews, phone number, the home's own website, weekly fees, care types, funding accepted and room details.

Paste a search, town, county or group page from carehome.co.uk and get one row per care home, with its full profile attached. No login and no API key needed.

Why Use This Scraper?

• Full profiles, not just the list. Each row combines the search card with the home's own profile page: reviews, care types, funding, rooms, owner and FAQ.
• The home's real website. carehome.co.uk links out through its own redirect page; the row carries the address that redirect leads to, with tracking tags removed.
• Contact details ready to use. The home's own phone number, postcode, latitude and longitude.
• Latest reviews included. Up to 20 recent reviews per home, each with date, author, star rating and text, plus the overall score out of 10 and the total review count.
• Fees and funding. Weekly charges as listed, and which funding types the home accepts (self-funding, local authority, NHS CHC and so on).
• Watch for new homes. Monitoring mode remembers what it has already returned and only delivers homes it has not seen before.
• Optional email lookup. Turn on email enrichment to find a contact address on each home's own website.

Overview

carehome.co.uk lists care homes and nursing homes across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with reviews from residents and families. This actor turns those listings into structured data for care-sector research, referral and placement teams, suppliers selling into care homes, and anyone building a directory or market map.

The dataset holds one row per care home. A row is built from two places: the home's card on the search page you started from (name, score, position on the page) and the home's profile page (everything else). If you start from a profile URL directly, the search-card fields are empty and the profile fields are filled as usual.

Pricing is per care home: $0.004 per home saved ($4 per 1,000), plus a small start fee per run. Contact emails, when you turn the lookup on, are $0.05 each and only charged when one is found. Free Apify accounts get up to 60 care homes from one start URL per run.

Use Cases

Who	What they do with it
Care-sector suppliers	Build lead lists of homes by area, size, care type and group, with phone numbers and websites

How It Works

1. You give it pages. Paste one or more search, area, group or profile URLs from carehome.co.uk.
2. It reads the result cards. Each search page gives up to 30 homes, and the actor follows the pages until it has your maximum.
3. It opens each home's profile. Address, reviews, fees, funding, care types, rooms, owner and FAQ are read from the profile.
4. It finds the home's own website. The outbound link is followed to the home's real address.
5. You get rows. One row per home in the dataset, ready to export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

FAQ

Which carehome.co.uk URLs are supported?

Search results pages (country, county, town, filtered searches), care group pages and individual care home profiles. Copy the address from your browser after setting your filters on the site.

Do I get one row per home or per review?

One row per home. Reviews are a list inside the row.

How many reviews are included?

The 20 latest reviews shown on the home's profile, plus the total count and the overall score. Older reviews are not included.

Why is websiteUrl empty for some homes?

Some homes have no website listed on carehome.co.uk, so there is nothing to follow. When a listed link cannot be followed during the run, websiteUrl stays empty and websiteRedirectUrl still leads to the site.

Why are the search card fields empty?

They are filled only when a home was reached from a search page. A profile URL you add directly has no search card.

Is there a limit on how many homes I can get?

Free Apify accounts get up to 60 homes from one start URL per run. Paid accounts get up to Maximum number of detail pages to save, and a country search can return thousands. The run also stops when it reaches the maximum cost per run you set.

How fast is it?

About 10 homes in 35 seconds, including each home's website lookup. Large searches run steadily at three pages at a time.

How does monitoring mode work?

The actor keeps a list of the homes it has returned to you, in a storage in your own Apify account. With monitoring on, homes already on that list are skipped and only new ones are returned. It is available to paid accounts.

Can I get email addresses?

Turn on Enrich with contact emails. The actor looks for a contact email on the home's own website and adds contactEmail and contactWebsite. Results depend on what each website publishes.

Does it scrape anything behind a login?

No. It reads public pages only.
