Types of Care in a Care Home

Leaving your loved one in someone else’s care is challenging for most people. There is a lot of emotional stress on both the resident and the family. To make things easier, you should maintain communication with your loved ones when they move to a care home.

However, most UK citizens face a common obstacle when choosing a care home: not knowing what type of care they need. Here is a breakdown of types of care provided in a luxury care home in Liverpool. The information below will give you a good place to start.

Different Types of Care at a Care Home

The staff at care homes provide numerous care services, like residential care for people who want to live independently with little help and specialized nursing care for persons affected by dementia. It’s also worth looking into some different home care software that can offer an added layer of assistance. Here are all the types of care provided at a care home.

Nursing Care

Residential and nursing care are similar, with minor differences. Residential and nursing care provide 24-hour support, cooked meals, bathing, dressing, and shaving services. The only difference between nursing and residential care is that the former is delivered through specialized nurses with relevant clinical experience.

Residential Care

People looking to live independently with little help opt for residential care. Residential care provides 24-hour support, cooked meals, and other support services included in the nursing care plan.

However, the caregiver won’t be a qualified nurse as there is no need to administer drugs or look after the resident.

Dementia Care

Dementia is a several neurological disorder that affects the thinking capabilities of the patient. It’s an umbrella term that encompasses over 200 different types of neurological diseases. However, the most common types of dementia are mixed dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Care homes have expert caregivers with clinical experience to look after residents with dementia. A person with dementia will need more care and support. Plus, 24 hours medical support and qualified nurses look after patients with dementia at a care home. Therefore, you have nothing to worry about when you register for dementia care.

Permanent Care

Living in a care home is your choice, and the residents get to call the shots. Family members are welcome to spend as much time as they want with their loved ones. Permanent care looks for the resident 24 hours with cooked meals, bathing, and other services included. The staff members at a care home are caring and loving, and your loved ones will feel at home.

Ending Note

Before sending your loved one to a care home, it is crucial to understand the different care services. You don’t want your loved one to end up unattended in the resident care program. Moreover, care homes have on-duty nurses and doctors, so you don’t have to worry about your loved ones when they are under the care of a good care home in the UK.
