The UK has seen a record number of people search for a care home in January, with over 1.5m visiting the leading care home reviews site at the beginning of this year, according to Care Home UK in an article by Sue Learner.

January 2018 saw carehome.co.uk have its highest ever traffic to the site with 1,579,285 visits. This was up from 1,144,572 in December, with an increase of 38 per cent.
