What elderly care involves
Most providers list care for older people, because it is the commonest CQC registration. In practice it means support with getting washed and dressed, meals, medicines and mobility, along with company and watching for changes in health. What separates providers is staffing, continuity of carers and how closely the care plan fits the individual.
