What is Nursing Care?
Nursing Care is commonly confused with Residential Care and for good reason. Both offer a safe home-from-home environment for older people where they can receive day to day care and support, however Nursing Care is required under special circumstances whereby the care needs are relatively higher. Midlands Care continue to pave the way by ensuring that all residents receive a tailored approach, ensuring the delivery of care is person-centred. Our specialist teams take into accounts a variety of factors when assessing and reviewing care requirements, from likes and dislikes, dietary requirements to medication management, mobility assessments and so much more. These numerous factors formulate an incredibly comprehensive and detailed care plan, which our specialist teams review and update on a regular basis.
Difference between Nursing Care and Residential Care
Care Needs
Traditionally, there has been a larger difference between the care requirements for Nursing Care and Residential Care. However, Midlands Care has invested heavily to bridge this gap, by ensuring that every individual within their care homes are provided the highest level of care, no matter the required level of care. Residential Care is often represented by the search for constant and additional support with day-to-day tasks, with personal care or chores such as cooking, cleaning and medication management being a struggle for them. Nursing Care is where individuals with a range of complex medical needs, and they not only need support with more complex health wellbeing, but continual medical intervention. Midlands Care specialises in providing dementia care, residential care, palliative care, day care, respite care, sensory impairments and caring for those with physical disabilities.
Team Training
Residential health care assistants, and the senior health care team are highly flexible and adept at dealing with a large variety of situations and problems. The team is able to support people through anything from bathing and dressing to joining in outings and spending time with family. At Midlands Care , we are proud to have a wide team of carers that have a wide range of knowledge, due to the high levels of investment in learning and development for Medication Management, First Aid, Moving & Handling and a lot more.
