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.

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.
