Residential care: what it means
Bed and board, personal care and staff available 24 hours a day: that is what a residential care home provides. There is no nursing on site (district nurses call in when needed), so it fits people who struggle to live at home yet need no regular nursing care.

- How many staff are on duty by day and at night?

Does Wakefield council fund a care home?
It may. Wakefield council must offer a free care needs assessment (Care Act 2014). For a care home, the value of the home is usually included in the means test unless a partner or certain relatives still live there, and it is ignored for the first 12 weeks of a permanent stay; the upper limit in England is £23,250. NHS-funded nursing care can help with nursing costs. How to contact Wakefield council.
