A residential care home is a facility where older adults live and receive personal care and support. Unlike nursing homes, residential care homes do not provide medical care but offer assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. The aim is to create a safe and comfortable environment where residents can enjoy their daily lives with dignity and independence.
Supported living and residential care both provide support to individuals who need assistance with daily activities, but there are key differences. Supported living usually involves individuals living in their own homes or shared accommodations with varying levels of support provided based on their needs. In contrast, residential care offers a more structured environment where residents live in a care home and receive round-the-clock support and care.
Residential care homes are typically used by older adults who need assistance with daily activities and cannot safely live independently. This includes individuals who may have physical disabilities, cognitive impairments such as dementia, or other health conditions that require continuous support and supervision.
The length of stay in a residential care home can vary widely depending on the individual’s needs and circumstances. Some residents may stay for a short period, such as during a recovery from an illness or while their regular caregiver is unavailable, known as respite care. Others may require long-term care and make the residential care home their permanent residence.
