Nursing care: what it means

Wounds, catheters, diabetes and conditions requiring clinical monitoring are typical reasons to choose a nursing home, where there is always a registered nurse working, 24 hours a day. NHS-funded nursing care is a weekly contribution the NHS pays straight to the home for each resident whose needs call for a registered nurse.

What to ask about nursing care

  1. How do you manage medicines and reviews?
  2. How do you manage pressure sores, catheters and diabetes?
  3. How many registered nurses are on duty by day and at night?
  4. How do you support people at the end of life?
  5. What happens if someone needs to go into hospital?

Will I get help from Wirral council with the cost of a care home?

Possibly. The Care Act 2014 means Wirral council has to assess care needs without charge. For a care home, the means test usually includes your home's value, unless your partner, or certain other relatives, still live in it, and never in the first 12 weeks of a permanent stay. The capital limit above which you pay in full is £23,250 in England, and NHS-funded nursing care can meet some nursing costs. Contacting Wirral council.
