Care homes
Types of care home
Care homes are registered with the Care Inspectorate to provide different kinds of care.
Care homes that provide personal care offer help with washing, dressing and giving medication.
Care homes that provide nursing care have at least one qualified nurse on duty 24 hours a day to carry out nursing tasks. Personal care is provided too.
Some care homes are registered for a specific care need, like dementia.
Residential care homes provide health support from members of a visiting healthcare team – like a GP, community nurse or physiotherapist.
