Services for People with Disabilities | Help to Live Independently | Social Care Home
Background
There are two main types of care homes; residential homes and homes with specialist nursing care.
- Residential homes provide accommodation, meals and personal care for older people, people with disabilities, or people who are unable to manage at home, for whatever reason.
- Nursing homes provide full board accommodation, personal care and qualified nursing care. A nursing home has to have a professionally qualified nurse on duty 24 hours per day.
You have two options should you or the person you care for wish to move to a home:
- You can make your own arrangements with the home.
- You can ask Social Services to help. This will require an assessment of need. This is a discussion with you to find out how best to support you with the problems you are having. We will look at your needs and decide whether you are eligible to move to a care home.
