Dementia and Care Homes (NHS)

In a care home, trained staff are available to look after people day and night. They can provide similar kinds of care to what family members provide at home, such as help with washing, dressing and providing meals.

Care homes for older people may provide personal care or nursing care. A care home that is registered to provide personal care will offer support, ensuring that basic personal needs – such as meals, bathing, going to the toilet and medication – are taken care of. In some homes, more able residents have greater independence and take care of many of their own needs.

Care homes can be run by:

  • voluntary organisations
  • private individuals
  • private companies
  • the local council
