What is Residential Care?

Residential care is a long-term support option for people who find it challenging to manage everyday tasks on their own. This type of care provides accommodation, 24-hour personal assistance and access to meals, activities, and social opportunities. The focus is on supporting residents with personal hygiene and daily routines, all in a shared living environment designed for comfort and ease.

Residential care can be a positive step for those seeking to reduce the stress of household chores and enjoy group living in a secure, supportive setting. Residents benefit not only from tailored care but also from regular opportunities to socialise, explore hobbies and remain active in daily life.

Residential Care FAQs

If managing at home has become difficult, even with help, or safety is a concern, residential care offers security, daily support and peace of mind for both residents and families.

Residential care is an ideal solution for those who require full-time accommodation and the option of around-the-clock support with personal care and some medical needs. It is also a great option for those who feel lonely or who would benefit from group living. Similar to residential care, nursing care also provides 24/7 care and support, but it is designed for those who need additional help from registered nurses who can administer medication and medical treatment at any time.

The personalised care plans we develop for our residents are regularly monitored and assessed. If our residents’ care needs change while living with us at St Margarets Care Home, then our team will work with them and their family to adjust their care plan as necessary to ensure their needs are fully met. St Margarets Care Home is proud to provide a continuum of care, meaning that should care needs change, residents do not have to move to a different care home.
