Getting older while living alone in your own home can be difficult. Should you become frail or develop a condition that means you need help with personal care, you may wish to consider moving to a rest home.

This could be a permanent move or it could be short-term if, for example, you are recovering from surgery or an illness and would benefit from a period of recuperation. Some rest homes provide nursing care in addition to personal assistance.

Using our expertise, we will help you find the right type of establishment for your welfare and peace of mind.

A good rest home will provide:

• The correct level of care for your specific needs
• Pleasing and well equipped accommodation that offers plenty of space for items you may wish to take with you
• Support in carrying on with everyday activities, such as trips to the library or shops
• The opportunity to continue with activities that you currently enjoy
• A social calendar suitable to your interests and level of health
• A social mix of residents with whom you feel comfortable and have things in common
• Constant awareness of issues of privacy and dignity
• Regular assessment of your needs
• On-call services from a local GP
• A catering team that can prepare special diets and individual requests
• A range of services from visiting professionals
