Which care homes in Guildford do AI assistants actually recommend?

We put the 10 questions a person in Guildford asks before choosing care home — cost, specialism, who to use, how to check them — to Claude, 5 times each, 50 answers in all, and recorded every firm the answers named. 21 firms in Guildford were checked against those answers. 8 of them were named at least once. The rest were not recommended in a single answer.

Firms are ranked by the number of answers that named them, then by how many different questions. The assistants do not give identical answers twice, so a difference of one or two mentions is noise; being named on questions a rival is absent from is not.

The questions we asked

  1. I need someone to look after my husband for two weeks while I go into hospital, what's that called?
  2. how do I find a trustworthy end of life care provider near Guildford for a family member?
  3. my mum with dementia keeps wandering at night, what kind of care does she need?
  4. is live-in home care a better option than a care home for an elderly parent who refuses to move?
  5. residential care homes in Guildford, Surrey with availability now
  6. what's the best dementia care near Guildford that's been rated outstanding by CQC?
  7. how do care home and nursing home referral services work and are they free?
  8. how much does dementia care cost per month in the UK?
  9. do I need a specialist dementia care plan or will a normal carer manage?
  10. is it better to put dad in a residential care home or keep him at home with carers?

How this was measured

  • Date: 2 October 2026. This is one day, not a trend; the index is re-measured monthly.
  • Sample: 10 questions × 1 assistant × 5 runs = 50 answers. 21 firms checked.
  • Assistants used: Claude (Anthropic’s Sonnet model, through its API, with web search). Answers from these programming interfaces can differ from what the consumer apps show.
  • Counting: a firm is counted when its name appears in an answer. Names are picked out of the answer text automatically, then matched to the firm list.
  • Limits: the assistants vary between runs, so small gaps are noise. Firms that were not named may still be recommended by an assistant or a question we did not ask. National chains are left off the list.

Is your firm on this list?

Every firm above has a private report: which answers named it, which rivals were named instead, whether its website can be read by the assistants, and the three things that would change the result. We work with one care home in Guildford, and this index is re-measured every month, so the change is visible here.
