Residential / Nursing Home Care and Respite ServicesThe aim of Residential, Nursing Home and Respite services is to provide care and support to individuals within a variety of settings. Services are provided on a long or short term basis. We aim to develop and provide high quality care and support that meets the individual's needs. We aim to ensure that an individual lives with no reduction of their rights as citizens and upholds their right to live as full and active a life as they desire and are able.
Residential Homes provide accommodation, meals and personal care such as help with bathing and eating. Nursing homes provide similar services to residential homes with the additional support from qualified nursing staff.
