When to consider a care home

A care home may be the best option if you or someone you know:

• is struggling to live alone – even with help from friends, family or paid carers
• had a needs assessment that suggested a care home is the best choice
• has a complex medical condition that needs specialist attention during the day and night

Care homes can reduce the stress of looking after your health and care. This may help you focus on other things, like your social life and general wellbeing.
