Residential Care FAQs

What is residential care?

Residential care refers to long-term support provided in care homes, such as Upper Mead, where individuals receive help with personal and daily living activities, like bathing, dressing, toileting, and medication. It’s ideal for people whose care needs exceed what can safely be managed at home but who don’t require intensive medical attention from qualified nurses

How does residential care differ from nursing care?

Residential care focuses on providing personal care, daily assistance, and social support. If 24/7 medical or nursing care is needed, qualified nurses are more appropriate and suited for care and support needs. At Upper Mead, we offer both care settings under one roof to accommodate the changing needs of our residents.

Can someone help me understand my funding options?

Absolutely, we understand that navigating care funding can feel overwhelming. Our friendly team is experienced in supporting families through this process and can explain all the options available to you. Whether you’re exploring private care or applying for funding support, we’re here to help.

Who regulates residential care homes in the UK?

In England, residential and nursing homes are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Providers must register, meet national standards, and undergo regular inspections (typically at least every three years), with reports available publicly. For more information, read our article on being a CQC-Rated care home in Henfield, Horsham.
