Nursing homes

Not all care homes provide nursing support. Nursing homes provide personal care in addition to nursing care and have nursing staff on duty 24 hours a day.

You can find local nursing homes by checking the Care Quality Commission's Residential Home Checker and adding the specialty of nursing.

Some people with long-term complex health needs qualify for free health and social care arranged and funded solely by the NHS. This is known as NHS continuing healthcare.

You can find out more here on the NHS continuing healthcare page.
