Common questions

How many care services are there in Stirling?

There are 171 registered with the Care Inspectorate and listed here (data as at 30 September 2026). The same address can hold more than one registration, so this is a count of registrations, not buildings.

How are care services in Stirling graded?

The Care Inspectorate grades each service from 1 (Unsatisfactory) to 6 (Excellent) on several key questions. 154 of these have published grades. For 144 of them the lowest grade is Good (4) or better, and for 1 it is Weak (2) or Unsatisfactory (1). A service with no grade has not been graded yet, which is common for new registrations.

How recently have they been inspected?

60 of the 171 were graded in the last 12 months. Each service page shows the date, because a grade describes the service on the day it was inspected.

How do I choose one?

Use the grades as a starting point, not a verdict: read the latest inspection report on the Care Inspectorate's own page for each service, visit if you can, and ask the questions that matter to you. Your council's social work department or health and social care partnership can also help. We do not recommend any one service.
