PROVIDERS OF RESIDENTIAL AND NURSING CARE

The vast majority of residential and nursing care in the UK is provided by the independent sector which include voluntary and private organisations. This is supplemented by a smaller number of homes which are owned and operated by Local Authority Social Services Departments. It is a common misconception that private care homes are only available to wealthy individuals. In actual fact people whose care needs are entirely funded by the Government are able to live in a private home if they wish, and indeed the cost of care in a private home can be less expensive than that provided by a Local Authority home.
