We always aim to provide support to allow people to stay in their own homes and remain as independent as possible. However, in some cases this may not be possible any longer, and we would recommend: • A residential care home if there are no medical problems that require assistance more than a carer could deal with at home. • A nursing care home if there are a number of complex medical problems that require regular assistance from Health Service professionals. If you are having difficulty with day to day living but are not sure that moving into a care home is the right choice, you should contact Adult and Community Services and ask for an assessment. We may be able to offer you support or equipment to allow you to stay in your own home. Find a care home.
