Moving into a care home is a big decision and it can cost a lot of money. Before choosing a care home for you or someone you know, it’s worth considering all of the options.

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
