A Residential Care Home is for older people who would prefer to live in a supported environment with peers, but do not need nursing care. Residential Care supports older people in everyday tasks and provides a safe environment; so, the resident can live as fulfilled a life as possible.
A Residential Care Home is a supported environment to help residents make the most of life and provides both a communal environment and independence & personal space. Alongside everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning and laundry, personal care is available and social activities are available.
Residential care homes employ various people, including care workers, to ensure residents receive the care and support needed. There are also roles such as managers, activities coordinators and catering staff to ensure the home runs smoothly and in line with national standards and guidelines. Occasionally, residents may need additional care, such as GPs and dentists.
Who pays for the Residential Care will depend on the person’s situation. It will usually be based on an assessment of their needs and their financial situation. Age UK has a wide variety of resources, fact sheets and guidance on funding the cost of care.
