Residential care

Some young people may require a level of support that cannot be delivered in their own home or in a supported living setting. Residential care homes provide long-term care to adults who require a high level of continuous support within a care setting. Residential care homes provide accommodation and support with tasks of daily living such as washing, dressing, meals, taking medicines, going to the toilet.

Adult services are committed to supporting people to stay in independent accommodation wherever possible but recognise that in some cases residential care may be more appropriate.
