Care homes
If you're looking for a residential care home, there's a huge variety of options. They include:
- care homes for older people
- care homes for younger adults with disabilities
- care homes for children
Care homes may be privately owned or run by charities or councils. They vary in size.
Different types of care homes
Care homes with personal care
One of the first things to consider when choosing a care home is whether you need it to provide nursing care, or just personal care.
A care home registered to provide personal care can help you with things like:
- eating meals
- washing
- going to the toilet
- taking your medicine
Care homes with nursing care
If you need nursing care, a nursing home will be more suitable. For example, a nursing home might specialise in certain types of disability or health conditions such as dementia.
These types of care homes provide 24-hour nursing care by qualified nurses and healthcare assistants. There will always be nursing staff on duty.
