Johann Hari writes in The Independent newspaper about his experience of finding acceptable care for his Grandmother:

He notes that the Government's new "light touch regulation" has cut the number of Care Home inspections to a quarter of what they were. This is in line with our experience at CareHomeMap.co.uk. We used to upload inspection reports every three months but these are no longer available and we have not uploaded any updates since August 2010.
The CQC web site has almost no information on it now - it's hard to see how this is a step forward.
We are hoping that users of CareHomeMap.co.uk will make more use of the user rating functions so that we can start to build an up to date picture of care quality.
