Nursing care

Nursing care is a higher level of support provided by registered nurses and often accompanied by care assistants during their daily responsibilities. It is provided to residents who require 24-hour specialist care, such as those living with a long-term condition or illness.

Each Aurem care home works closely with a multitude of skilled healthcare professionals, such as social workers, doctors, dieticians, and physiotherapists, to ensure residents receive high quality, compassionate personalised care.

As part of each resident’s personalised care plan, our team carefully assesses the level of nursing care required for each resident to meet all their physical and emotional needs.

In our nursing care facilities, we provide everything available in residential care, but with additional medical support for those with higher needs. These feature nursing equipment and specialist developed environments to provide the very best support for each individual.

Nursing care is:

• Suited to people living with disabilities, immobility, and long-term medical conditions
• Staffed by registered nurses
• Supported by GP’s, pharmacists, and specialist medical teams to ensure the highest standards of care
• Designed around the person, featuring specialist beds and equipment to suit their needs

For anyone who is lacking in mobility, has suffered a stroke or has other types of medical conditions resulting in high needs, our nursing care is second to none.

The main difference between a residential home and a nursing home is that a nursing home has a qualified nurse on-site 24-hours a day to provide necessary medical care. This means nursing homes can provide a higher level of care.

Whether you have to pay for your care home place yourself or if your local authority will help you with funding depends on how much your savings and assets are worth. In England, if you have capital of more than £23,250, you will have to pay for your own care.
