Information about care homes and nursing homes, which offer 24 hour care.
The type of residential home which is best for you depends upon what your needs are. You can find out more about having your needs assessed here.
Care homes
Residents have their own room, sometimes with an en-suite bathroom, and usually with access to other shared facilities.
These homes will help you with any assessed personal care needs (such as getting up and going to bed, dressing, washing and using the toilet) as necessary and they will supervise or administer medication. They provide all meals and most will offer some social activities.
They can normally provide care during short illnesses but they do not provide long-term nursing care. There will also be someone on call at night.
Nursing homes
Nursing homes are suitable for people who need long-term specialist nursing care. People who need two people to help them transfer, such as from bed to chair or from a chair to the toilet, may also need a nursing home, because of the higher staffing levels.
Personal care will include help with getting up and going to bed, dressing, washing and toileting as necessary and the administration or supervision of medication. Nursing tasks will include dressings, injections, pressure sore care etc. In a nursing care home there will always be a qualified nurse on duty.
Some nursing homes will have a proportion of beds only registered for personal care and the remainder for nursing care, while in others all beds will be registered for nursing.
