Online Care Finder Lottie has announced the UK’s top 100 care homes for 2026. Burford House Care Home, in Chorleywood, is proud to be included on the list. Now in their second year, the Lottie Awards recognise and celebrate care homes across the UK. These care homes demonstrate exceptional commitment to residents and families. Lottie’s team conducted a comprehensive, data-driven review of every published care home listing on its platform. Furthermore, they assessed them against the criteria that matter most to families when choosing care. These include independent regulator ratings, enquiry handling, facilities and activities, the quality of each home’s online listing, and verified family reviews.

To be named among the Top 100 from more than 14,000 care homes across the UK is a huge achievement. These care homes are not just meeting residents’ needs.

About the Lottie Awards
Launched in 2025 by Online Care Finder Lottie, the Lottie Awards highlight the UK’s Top 100 care homes across England, Scotland and Wales. Winners are determined through a rigorous, data-led process that scores every published care home listing on the Lottie platform across seven weighted categories. This process draws on more than a dozen individual data points important to families. These points include independent regulator ratings, enquiry responsiveness, on-site facilities and activities, the richness of each home’s online listing, and verified family reviews. Every home receives a single composite score built entirely from objective, measurable data. There are no paid placements. Moreover, a cap on how many homes any one operator can place in the Top 100 ensures the ranking is fair across geography and price.
The Lottie Awards aim to provide families with trusted guidance on the best elderly care providers. At the same time, they recognise care homes that exceed expectations in care quality, responsiveness, and the everyday experience they create for residents.
