Types of care
At Barchester, we celebrate life and make sure the people we support do too. We do this by treating everyone as individuals, and always tailoring our services and support to meet their needs. Whether it's a few hours help a week or 24-hour care, our assistance is consistently top quality and person-centred. From registered care and nursing services to respite care and independent living, at Barchester, the people we support only ever receive the best.
Residential care
Residential care offers the perfect way to give someone as much of that independence back, giving them the added security of care professionals' 24-hour personal care.
Dementia care
Individuals living with dementia may require extra, or specialised care and support, especially as their symptoms develop over time. Dementia care accommodates for these specific needs when nursing or residential care is not enough, with a focus on improving well-being and assisting people to continue living a fulfilled life with activities they love.
Nursing care
Nursing care is for older individuals who require 24-hour medical care as well as personal living needs. This may include individuals who need intensive rehabilitative care, individuals who need peg feeding, individuals with physical disabilities, and individuals with long-term health conditions.
Respite care
Also referred to as short stay, respite care is temporary living arrangement at a care home. Respite care and short term stays provide an opportunity to trial the care home experience, and is often the first step in moving from home care into permanent residency at a care home.
Independent living
Independent living enables you to live in the comfort and privacy of your own home, safe in the knowledge that support is available if and when required. This can include catering, maintenance, laundry, household cleaning and the opportunity to enjoy the social activities and events at the care home.
Mental Health
Barchester Healthcare operates a number of independent mental health hospitals across England. The range of services available differs between each hospital.
Choosing the right care
Once a care requirement is clear the next step is choosing the right home to meet those needs. Important areas to consider are services, facilities, location, atmosphere and home environment. The best way to feel reassured about the decision you are making is to visit one of our care homes in advance where you can look around, talk to our staff and get answers to the questions that are most important to you.
Many of our care homes are happy to arrange a trial stay to help both carers and those in need of care decide whether it is the right place for them. Please feel free to browse our website for more information on our services and for contact details to our individual homes, where you can arrange a visit direct.
