What are Residential Care Homes?

Residential care homes provide accommodation and personal care for people who need support with daily living but do not require the intensive medical or nursing care provided in hospitals or nursing homes. These homes offer a safe and comfortable environment where residents can receive help with activities such as washing, dressing, medication management, and meal preparation.

Unlike living alone, residential care homes foster social interaction and companionship, reducing loneliness and enabling residents to maintain a more active and engaged lifestyle. The staff are trained to deliver care tailored to each resident’s preferences and needs, encouraging independence while offering assistance when required.
