I run care homes. Market intelligence for care home groups
Your own homes first, then the similar homes nearby, new beds within reach and any change of provider, in one weekly briefing. Every line links to the CQC or Companies House record, and the homes where nothing changed are named.
From a real Estate Intelligence briefing
New supply around your homes
Your home in Cheshire West and Chester. Registered beds within the circles rose by 246 between 2 January 2026 and 6 September 2026, from 7 registrations and 0 deactivations.
A group with 31 homes, anonymised here. Subscribers see each home named.
Each month, near the homes you run, some homes change hands, add beds, get a new rating, lose or gain a registered manager, leave the register or file something at Companies House that matters. It is all public. Reading all of it, every day, for every home, and deciding what deserves a call, is a week of work. We do the reading and the sorting. You get the list.
Anything new at one of your homes comes first, with what to check. A new rating, a rating now more than six years old, a change in manager status, a change in beds, a hygiene rating that fell, or the provider no longer on the sponsor register.
A similar home nearby that got weaker. A lower rating, a home leaving the register, or a formal insolvency process at its provider.
A similar home nearby that got stronger, and new beds registered within reach of your homes. A capacity ledger counts net registered beds inside your circles over twelve and twenty-four months.
A location moving between providers, a corporate owner arriving or leaving at Companies House, a charge satisfied or property released from one, a solvent liquidation. Read from the register and never written up as a sale.
Worth knowing, not worth a call. A registered manager not shown nearby, accounts overdue, a provider that no longer appears on the sponsor register.
Listed by name, every week. Quiet is a result, and your regional teams know which homes were checked.
Every confirmed home you run in England.
Currently for groups of up to 50 homes. Monthly, by card on Stripe's own page, cancel any time.

Start my 14-day trialThe first briefing a trial opens with, with the homes anonymised. Covering the estate's record to 6 September 2026, for a group with 31 homes, prepared 21 September 2026. The start of it is below, in the form the email takes. No sign-up. The homes are anonymised here. Subscribers see each one named, with its CQC link.

Seven questions a central team asks and cannot answer by hand. For each one, what the briefing does and what you can do with the answer.
Estate actions come first in every briefing. A rating change, a rating now older than six years against CQC's own reinspection priorities, manager status, beds, a hygiene fall, and the provider's sponsor register entry.
Ask the home manager one question before an inspector, a commissioner or a family does.
Nearby homes are scored against yours on nursing, specialisms, distance and scale from the CQC register's own profile. Only comparable homes raise an opportunity or a pressure item.
Point enquiries and referrer contact at the home that can take them this month.
New registrations and deactivations inside each circle, with beds, and a twelve and twenty-four month ledger per home and per cluster.
Take a supply figure to a fee review or a development meeting that traces to the register.
Provider transfers on the CQC register, corporate owners arriving or leaving at Companies House, charges satisfied and property released, solvent liquidations, explained once with the homes they touch.
Open a conversation early, with the register history in hand.
The Home Office register of licensed sponsors, read every day and matched to CQC providers with a company number, with the match checked and the latest register re-read before anything is sent. When a provider stops appearing, the briefing says so and says the register gives no reason.
Prepare for a staffing shift in your market before the agency bill shows it.
Every fact carries its publisher, identifier, date, retrieval date and link. Our reading of it sits beneath, labelled as ours. Four links under each finding record whether it was useful, not relevant, the wrong home or already known.
Check the source in one click, and shape the briefing without a call.
Homes with no material change are listed by name, with what was checked and the date of every source.
Know the watching happened, and spend the time elsewhere.
Your 14 days start when your first briefing is sent, not when you sign up.
The current picture for your coverage, with the dates of the two updates and the day the trial ends written in it.
What changed since the first briefing, against the same coverage.
What changed since update one. The trial ends the next day and nothing is taken automatically.
CQC publishes the care register once a month, so a week can pass with nothing to report at your homes. An update with nothing in it says so and lists everything it checked.
A learning disability service is not a competitor to a nursing home. Before we call a nearby home a competitor we compare it with yours on nursing, specialisms, distance and size, using the CQC register's own details. Homes that match closely enough can raise an opportunity or a pressure item. Homes that do not are recorded as nearby but not similar, and stay in the evidence record. Every line about a named home has two parts, kept apart. The register fact with its date and link, then our reading of it, marked as ours and never as a regulator's finding. How it decides, in full →
Which homes have something new nearby this month, with the question to ask the home manager, before the enquiry line or the agency bill tells you.
Which operators near your homes changed hands, took on a charge, filed late or went into a formal process, read from the register and never dressed up.
Which similar homes nearby changed rating or provider, with the register history behind each, as the start of a conversation rather than the end of one.

More than 50 homes, ask and we will quote. You see the terms and the price before anything starts.
No. It sorts external changes into classes and says why each may matter. Nothing judges the care inside a home.
On nursing status, specialisms, distance and size, from the CQC register's own details. Homes below the line are recorded as nearby but not similar.
That the homes were checked and nothing in the record moved.

Chris McQueen built Harrier and reads every first briefing himself.
This sends Chris a question. It does not start anything and nothing is charged. The trial is the button above, online, with no card. Use this if you would rather ask about your own estate first.
For operations directors and regional managers, the estate monitoring page reads the same briefing for their work.
For development and acquisitions teams, the development and acquisitions page reads the same briefing for their work.
