Welcome to Care Forum Wales

We represent 500+ care homes and independent care sector organisations across Wales.

At Care Forum Wales we work to help members provide high-quality services and dignity in care for the elderly and others in need of social care. Our members are private and voluntary organisations who run care homes, day care centres, home help services and respite care facilities for adults and children across Wales.

We've been going since 1993 and our numbers continue to grow each year. We give our members:

• a single, professional voice with which to speak on social care policy
• collective clout to liaise with public sector bodies and the Welsh Assembly Government when policy is being drawn up
• training updates and sharing best professional practice

Looking for a care provider you can trust?

All our members have signed up to provide high-quality services and Dignity in Care (click to download CFW Dignity in Care Charter). Use the Care Compare Wales tool to find a provider in your area. All providers are registered with the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW), www.wales.gov.uk/cssiw. You can also find out about the different types of care in our Guide to Finding a Care Provider.
