Residential Care refers to general care and support provided in a standard elderly care home. Also referred to as a “Group Living Arrangement” and "assisted living", this type of care provides help with everyday needs such as personal care, diet, mobility assistance, and so on.
A Residential Care Home provides around-the-clock personal care in a safe and supportive environment. Residential Care Homes are available to the elderly and others who may find it difficult to manage daily life at home.
Residential Care Homes care for people with ‘low’ care needs and residents are able to treat the setting as their home and live there while having access to a number of services available on site.
Benefits of care homes include safety, companionship, help with medication, and peace of mind knowing that you or your loved one receives care when they need it. Residential Care Homes offer a safe, secure environment where residents can receive long-term, 24-hour personal care.
Both types of care support residents in a homely, live-in accommodation where qualified staff looks after personal needs. Nursing Care equally assists with personal needs but with added care for residents who require support from a registered nurse. Registered nurses devise and monitor care plans, and provide and administer treatment and care for individuals with a variety of medical conditions.
Depending on the severity of your current circumstance, you may be eligible for local authority (local councils) funding from the government or the NHS (Funded Nursing Care or Continuing Health Care). When it comes to deciding how you pay for your care home cost, we strongly urge you to seek independent financial support and advice.
The care costs of your stay at The Amwell Care Home are most likely to remain consistent. Your overall charge may change if your condition changes and your care plan may be altered to account for any additional costs.
The average cost of a Residential Care Home varies and there is plenty of guidance available on Care Home Fees.
