Nursing Care Home

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. The distinct difference, however, is that Nursing Care offers higher levels of medical care there for those who need it. Whilst residential homes are able to assist with some elements of medical intervention, a nursing homes is designed specifically to assist those who have just be discharged from hospital or have longer term care needs. A nursing home has a qualified nurse on site 24 hours. Keep reading to find out more about nursing care, why you might choose these services and how we can help you. 

Why choose Nursing Care over residential care?

Care Needs

Individuals who go into residential care homes are often looking for constant and additional support with day-to-day tasks. Personal care or chores such as cooking or cleaning may be a struggle for them. Nursing homes cater to individuals with a range of complex medical needs, and they need not only personal support but continual medical intervention. 

Team Training

Residential health care assistants 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. In residential care homes, staff have a wise breadth of knowledge. In comparison, Nursing homes have a team of nurses who are specialised to deal with medical situations. If your loved ones need change or escalate, they are adept at dealing and adapting to this with care. 

Cost

Due to the specialist and higher-level care received in a nursing home, this are often more costly than a place in a residential home. For both types of nursing care, the price is dependent on the individual, and their needs and requirements. Assessments are completed before admission and regularly after to ensure that the price quoted is necessary, accurate and well suited.
