Nursing Home Registration
CQC registration for nursing homes, including the nursing care regulated activity. We prepare the applications and the clinical governance evidence that sits underneath them.
How we get you registered
Scope and plan. We confirm your service model, client group and timeline, then agree the scope of work before anything starts.
Build the application. We draft your applications, statement of purpose and supporting evidence, and get them ready to submit.
Submit and support. We support you through submission, the assessment, and the questions CQC asks along the way.
Registering a nursing home or a residential one?
The difference is not just the nurses. It changes the activities, the manager and the staffing evidence.

Nursing care on the registration — or not?
Whether you are opening a care home or building a complex care agency, the question that decides most of the rest is the same: who is clinically accountable for the nursing, and is that person on your payroll? Three questions. One of the answers is “this cannot be settled from three buttons”, and that is a real answer rather than a failure of the tool.

What to put on the desk
General information about CQC registration in England, indicative only and based on what you have told us. It is not legal or clinical advice and it does not create any relationship between us. The regulated activities and the evidence CQC asks for move; this logic is current at 7 September 2026. If your model sits anywhere near a line, ring us rather than relying on this page.
What is included
CQC · accommodation with nursing care.
Provider and registered manager applications
Prepared together, with a manager whose background matches what a nursing home requires.
Both regulated activities
Nursing homes normally register for accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care and for nursing care. We scope both against your model.
Clinical governance framework
Who holds clinical oversight, how it is evidenced, and how it connects to the rest of your governance. More on clinical governance.
Nurse staffing and dependency evidence
How you will establish safe staffing and show your working, which is the question that follows you from registration into every inspection.
Policies and evidence
Mapped to the CQC fundamental standards and to a nursing model specifically.
Interview preparation
A more clinical interview than most people expect. Interview preparation.
Before you commit
Nurse recruitment is the constraint on almost every nursing home in England, and a registration that assumes staffing you cannot achieve will fail its first inspection rather than its application.
Dependency tools are not a formality. Be ready to explain how you arrived at your establishment, who reviews it, and what happens to it when three residents get sicker in the same fortnight.
Fees are quoted before any work starts. Nothing on this page is an offer.

How many beds, what dependency, and who you have lined up to hold the registration. Thirty minutes, no charge.
