What to expect from nursing care

A nursing home has a registered nurse on duty 24 hours a day, for people with medical needs such as wounds, catheters, diabetes, or conditions that need clinical monitoring. If someone in a nursing home needs care from a registered nurse, the NHS pays a weekly contribution (NHS-funded nursing care) directly to the home.
