Supporting you or your loved one with finding the right care home

Looking for a home which meets all your needs and feels right can be really daunting. It’s often confusing knowing where to even start. You may well be asking yourself “what type of care do we need”, “should we look for residential homes or nursing homes” and “what type of care homes are available near me”?

A senior member of the team will be there to answer any questions that you may have. They are there to make sure you feel comfortable with everything from the home costs to finding out about times to pre-book care home visits.

Carole’s experience …

Carole, whose father Dennis has moved into one of our nursing homes, had this to say:

"I spoke to Meegan in the Enquiry Support Team – she was really good, honest and helpful. We booked a virtual tour and the staff were very professional – it made us think ‘this is the right one."

What about paying for care? – Download our free care guides

Understanding how you or your loved one will pay the care home fees is one of the first steps to consider, yet one of the hardest to understand.

You might be wondering if you or your local authority is responsible for the cost of care or if you need to organise a financial assessment. It might be that you need clarity about whether the overall home costs change depending on the type of care.

Our Enquiry Support Team advisors help families every day. They understand what care home funding is available and how it works. You are also welcome to download our free guides below:
