Residential care
from
Stephen Peddie (subject matter expert)
Residential care is care provided in a care home and has no nursing care component nor any funding component via the NHS. Funding is either fully funded by a council, part funded by a council and part by first and third parties, or fully self-funded (the resident and their family). A third party top up applies in about 50% of placements. Residential care does not have a therapy led approach and is not intermediate care, BUT bedded intermediate care facilities with no nursing are registered with CQC as residential care homes.
