You can use the Commission for Social Care Inspection web site to judge standards of home via the inspection reports or the best way I have found is to select half a dozen and make arrangements to visit them, then its a case of using your eyes, hears and nose. talk to staff, residents and visitors. A care home should be a home, if it's too bright and shiney and the residents can't interact then I'd be weary.
