Nursing Care
Personalised Nursing Care You Can Trust
Deciding on nursing care for a loved one can be a deeply emotional journey, filled with questions and concerns. We understand the importance of finding care that not only meets complex medical needs but also provides comfort, dignity and reassurance for residents and their families.
Our dedicated nursing teams provide personalised, round-the-clock support, seven days a week for various nursing conditions, including for those with dementia that also require nursing, recovering from surgery or injury before returning home, and other complex care needs. So, you can rest assured that there’s always a fully qualified nurse on hand to help keep your loved one safe, any time they need them.
Having 24/7 access to fully trained nurses means that, even if your loved one becomes poorly, there’s less chance they’ll need to be admitted to hospital. This can be especially important for older people who may be more vulnerable to picking up infections in a hospital setting and would be unsettled by a trip to a hospital ward, which can often be loud and hectic places.
The Caring Homes Difference
What sets us apart is our commitment to tailored care. Our nurses are a permanent part of the team, enabling them to build familiarity and a strong relationship with your loved one, so they’re always cared for by someone they know and trust.
We focus on getting to know each resident as an individual—their preferences, personal stories and unique care needs. This person-centred approach not only enhances their quality of life but also gives families peace of mind, knowing their loved one is in trusted hands.
We know how unsettling and disruptive a move can be, especially for older people. At our nursing homes, you can be assured that, even if your loved ones’ needs change, they won’t have to move again to another home after they join us as we can provide the care they may need now and in the future.

FAQs
Although care homes and nursing homes sound similar, the main difference is that a nursing home employs dedicated nurses, with nursing care on-site 24/7. This means that nursing homes are able to support residents with greater needs than a care home may be able to.
