Care home

Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

A home that you live in with other people, with staff providing care and support. The home provides you with your own room, meals and personal care. Some care homes - but not all - also employ registered nurses to provide nursing care. Care homes may be privately owned or may be run by a charity or a local council. They are regularly inspected by the Care Quality Commission.
