Care Homes

You have the right to choose your care home. There are lots to choose from, but finding one that is right for you may take some time. You should make sure that the care home you choose has the facilities, equipment and staff with the right training to meet your needs.

There are different types of care homes. Some offer full-time nursing care, others support people with a specific disability or medical need.

If you are currently receiving treatment on a regular basis from a qualified nurse then you may need a care home with nursing. Your district nurse or hospital staff will be able to help you decide.
