A residential care home provides round-the-clock support and care for vulnerable people. Patients in a residential care home often need support with daily tasks, such as eating, dressing, washing, and more.
In a residential setting, patients often live in single rooms and can socialise with other patients. The aim of a residential care home is to provide support to patients who cannot live independently but do not need nursing care. Residential care homes allow the elderly to still live independent and meaningful lives, with access to care and support when they need it.
Residents can stay for respite, emergency care, and long-term or short-term care. They may even stay to receive palliative care, depending on the services offered by the care home.
