Need for care - considerations for your Advance Statement

Details and location of care

This is an opportunity to think about and record your preferred options when and if you require care. This could be at home or in a care home. There are two types of care homes. Residential homes provide help and assistance with personal care. There are no nurses on the care team.
Nursing homes provide help and assistance with personal care. They also have registered nurses and care assistants who provide 24 hour nursing care for people with complex problems.

If I require care, I would prefer for this to be in my home. If this is too difficult for family or for financial reasons then I would hope to be in a residential care home.
