Residential Care FAQs

A residential care home is a facility where elderly individuals who need assistance with daily living activities can live in a safe and supportive environment. Unlike nursing homes, which provide 24-hour medical care, residential care homes focus on helping residents with non-medical tasks such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. Residential care homes offer a communal living experience, with shared spaces for dining and social activities, fostering a sense of community among residents.

Supported living and residential care are both options for individuals who need assistance with daily activities, but they differ in the level of support and living arrangements. In supported living, individuals typically live in their own private accommodations (such as a flat or house) and receive support services as needed, such as help with housekeeping or personal care. Supported living allows for more independence, as residents have more control over their daily routines. In contrast, residential care provides a higher level of support in a communal setting where residents live together and receive continuous care from on-site staff.

Residential care homes are designed for elderly individuals who may not require intensive medical care but need help with daily living activities. Residents often include those who are frail, have mobility issues, or have mild to moderate cognitive impairments. Residential care is suitable for individuals who may feel isolated living alone and would benefit from the social interaction and structured environment that a care home provides.

The length of stay in residential care varies depending on the individual’s needs and circumstances. Some residents may stay in a residential care home for a short period, such as during recovery from an illness or after a hospital stay, while others may reside in the home for the long term. The goal of residential care is to provide a supportive environment where residents can live comfortably and safely for as long as needed.
