Residential care: what it means
Residential homes provide a bedroom, food, help with personal care and staff on hand day and night, but there are no nurses based there; district nurses come in when needed. They are meant for people who find living at home too hard but whose health does not call for regular nursing.
Questions to ask care homes about residential care
- Can they bring their own furniture, and visit freely?
- What happens if their needs increase and nursing care is needed?
- How do district nurses and the GP visit?
- How are fee increases worked out each year?
