Southampton in numbers
89% of Southampton’s CQC-rated care homes are rated Good or Outstanding, above the England average of 79%. Based on 9 rated homes; England figure from CQC State of Care (2024/25).
The average residential care home in Southampton costs about £1,525/week, while Hampshire’s published usual rate is around £1,245/week (2025). If the council funds care, expect a likely top-up of about £280/week (about £14,560/year), usually paid by a relative or friend.

How we grade areas
Grades are relative, comparing this area against others of the same type across the UK. Amenity grades are based on OpenStreetMap counts within a fixed radius. The Safety & Peace grade ranks recorded anti-social behaviour and public-disorder incidents (the offences most relevant to a quiet neighbourhood) — per head of population where ONS figures are available, otherwise by count. Scottish towns are graded against other Scottish towns, from Police Scotland’s 12-month figures for the council wards they sit in, per head of those wards’ population (National Records of Scotland). Figures are estimates to aid research, not a substitute for visiting an area.
