Residential Care

Residential Care Homes

Our residential care homes for older people provide accommodation, meals, leisure activities, personal care and emotional support for those who are unable to manage at home.

Please note that residential care does not include nursing care.

The decision to recommend a residential or nursing home will only be made after a full assessment. If nursing home care is recommended, then the local health authority also has to agree to this. You can also consider homes in other local authorities if your needs will be better met there.

Choosing a home

When you choose a home, it is important to make sure that you choose one that will be right for you both now and in the future. You can get advice and information to help you make this important decision from:

• your social worker or care manager
• a district nurse
• a health visitor
• your family doctor.
