In our role of providing staff we get a lot of questions. One of the most common is what living in a care home is actually like. A lot of people who are thinking about moving into a home or finding a place for a loved one want this information. We are happy to help and you can find out more below.

Moving in

Any move can be tricky but this is a very big step. The care home staff will do their best to support new residents and ensure they settle in. A good thing to do is start getting acquainted with them in advance. That way relationships are already starting to develop. Visiting the home early is also a really good idea to get familiar with the layout and facilities.

For the move, remember to bring as many home comforts as possible. Residents should be able to personalise their room so they feel at home. Some care homes even allow people to bring their pets along.

Staying active

Most care homes have all kinds of activities and support residents in carrying on with their hobbies. The idea is to make sure everybody is happy and living as active a life as they want to. Most homes also tend to have links with their local community. As a result they can invite in special guests and provide other forms of entertainment.

Facilities

The facilities you find in care homes can vary dramatically. There are some with all kinds of useful amenities onsite including spas, salons and even landscaped gardens. It is a good idea to find out everything that is on offer.

Meals

Dining in care homes can be a very social experience where residents come together. Meals will ensure that every resident gets the right nutrition. In some homes the residents can also have an input into the menu.
