What is a care home?

A care home provides tailored care, support, and accommodation for individuals who require assistance with daily living activities, medical needs, or emotional support. These homes are designed to offer a safe and supportive environment for older adults, individuals with specific health conditions, or those needing specialised care due to physical or mental challenges.

Care homes provide various levels of support, from basic assistance with everyday tasks like bathing and dressing to more specialised nursing care and dementia support. They offer a range of amenities, including comfortable living quarters, communal spaces, and structured activities to promote social interaction and mental stimulation.

The team at a care home are trained professionals who offer personalised care, aiming to enhance the quality of life for the residents by addressing their unique needs and ensuring a safe and homely atmosphere. All Meallmore care homes cater to a spectrum of care requirements, providing a supportive community for individuals who may need additional help with day-to-day activities and overall well-being.

What is the difference between a care home and at home care?

A care home is a residential building where individuals live full-time, receiving care, accommodation, and support in a communal setting. Residents have access to 24/7 care, meals, and various activities within the home. It's suitable for those needing a higher level of care, as it provides a secure and supervised environment, often catering to medical and personal care needs.

Home care, on the other hand, involves receiving care and support services while continuing to live in one's own home. Caregivers visit the individual at home to provide assistance with daily activities, medication management, and medical support, allowing the person to maintain their independence in a familiar environment. Home care services can range from occasional visits to 24/7 care, depending on the individual's needs and the care provider's offerings.

Choosing Meallmore over care at home offers a comprehensive, supportive, and enriching environment that extends beyond the essential care services provided at home. With Meallmore, residents access a vibrant community, receiving round-the-clock professional care within a secure, homely, and engaging environment. The care homes provide not just dedicated care but also a full spectrum of social activities, communal dining, safety, and on-site medical support. This setting promotes a sense of community, encourages social interaction, and offers tailored care plans. It's a holistic approach designed to enhance the quality of life, emotional well-being, and social connections for residents in a comfortable, secure, and homely environment.

What is the criteria for going into a care home?

The criteria for entering a care home typically involves a combination of individual needs and assessments. The primary factors often include the individual's health conditions, mobility, and the ability to perform daily tasks without assistance.

Assessments by social services or healthcare professionals may also help determine the level of care required. Eligibility might also involve considering the level of support needed, such as help with personal care, health conditions, or the need for a safe environment due to limitations in independent living.

Financial considerations, in terms of available funds or access to funding, also play a vital role. Generally, it's about ensuring that the care home can meet the individual's specific care needs and that it's the most suitable environment for their well-being.
