We know that choosing residential care can be a big step. Whether you're looking for yourself or someone you love, these frequently asked questions are here to guide you. If you're unsure, our team is always happy to talk.
Residential care is designed for individuals who need regular help with everyday tasks such as washing, dressing, taking medication, or moving safely around their home - but who do not require ongoing medical care from a nurse. In contrast, nursing care includes clinical support from qualified nurses for residents with more complex health conditions. At Meallmore, some of our homes offer a blend of both, with professional oversight in a supportive, non-clinical environment.
Residential care typically covers accommodation, all meals and refreshments, 24-hour personal care, laundry and housekeeping services, and access to activities, outings, and communal spaces. Optional extras - such as hairdressing, therapies or private transport - may be available at an additional cost. Our team can provide a full breakdown tailored to your chosen care home.
Residential care is ideal for older adults who are finding it difficult to live safely or comfortably on their own. It’s a good option for those who may be feeling isolated, struggling with mobility, or needing regular assistance with personal care. It’s also suitable for individuals recovering from illness or hospital stays, or those who simply want the reassurance of 24/7 support in a friendly, community-led setting.
Yes - we encourage all residents to bring personal touches to their room. Whether it’s family photographs, books, or soft furnishings, these items help residents feel at home from day one. Some homes may also be able to accommodate small pieces of furniture, depending on space.
Our care plans are regularly reviewed and adapted as needs evolve. If a resident begins to require more medical support, we can work with local health professionals to introduce nursing care or explore transitions to a more suitable setting within the Meallmore group - ensuring minimal disruption and continuity of care.
Our care isn’t just practical - it’s personal. We offer a wide range of social activities, group events, one-to-one engagement, and opportunities for residents to pursue hobbies or try something new. Emotional wellbeing is also supported through companionship, familiar routines, and an inclusive community atmosphere.
We have an open and flexible visiting approach. Families are encouraged to stay involved in their loved one’s care journey, from attending reviews and meetings to joining social events and simply popping in for a chat. Communication is key - and we’ll always keep you informed and included.
Start by contacting our team for a no-pressure, friendly chat. We’ll talk through your situation, answer any questions, and if appropriate, arrange a free care needs assessment. We can also support you in understanding funding options, choosing the right home, and planning a smooth transition.
