The Care Quality Commission (CQC) publishes data on locations that were previously regulated by the CQC and have since been deactivated. A location can be deactivated for several reasons and does not mean that the service has closed in every instance. For example, it may have re-registered due to changes in its legal structure or its address.<\/p>
<\/p>
The following table below shows the number of care home deactivations in England in each year from 2019 to January 2022.<\/p>

It may take several months for a \u2019successor\u2019 location to be published following a location deactivating and a new location activating.
