Helping you to understand & choose great care

Residential care is also known as Personal Care and Assisted Living.

This service is designed to provide support with daily activities which have started to become difficult to manage safely at home or there may be concerns about an ability to cope independently. A GP, or other professional, may be recommending moving into a care home environment. There may have been incidents at home, such as a fall.

In a residential care environment, care teams will provide assistance with intimate care such as washing and dressing, ensuring medication is taken correctly and supporting with mobility challenges.

Many Castlemeadow residents choose to live with us simply because they no longer want to live alone or wish to shoulder the burden of maintaining their own home.

Nursing care is around the clock nurse-led specialist care for residents with complex health conditions and advanced types of dementia.

We help every resident to have the highest quality of life that their long-term health conditions will support within a calm, safe and trusted environment.

What is nursing care?
Nursing care, also known as nursing-led care, provides support for residents with complex health needs, which cannot be provided at home, or in a residential care environment. Many residents who require nursing-led care have multiple long-term health conditions that require a higher, or more concentrated, level of care. Nursing-led care would include palliative care, complex medication regimes and complex wound care.

Nursing-led care requires a fully qualified and highly experienced registered nurses to be available and in the care home 24 hours a day.

The key difference between nursing-led care and residential care, with or without dementia, is the requirement for a nurse to be on-site to manage more severe, complex, and often multiple, long-term health conditions. Other long-term health conditions, such as osteoarthritis, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, can be managed by Castlemeadow Care’s highly qualified non-nursing care teams, with support from community nursing.

In every Castlemeadow Care nursing care environment, we support every resident to have as happy and social a life as their health allows. From personal care – helping a resident to eat, drink, wash, and dress, to more complex care needs administered by a registered nurse.
