Care Homes

Before considering a care home, it might be worth considering options that might enable a person to stay in their own home. These options include:

• equipment
• aids and adaptions
• support services such as meal delivery, cleaning, gardening and personal assistants.

For more information visit our Help Living at Home section.

For some people, a care home might be the necessary choice. There are two categories of care home: Residential homes provide accommodation, meals and personal care (such as help with washing and eating). Nursing homes also have registered nurses who can provide care for more complex health needs.
