What is the difference between a care home and a nursing home?

In a care home, care is provided 24-hours a day by trained Care Assistants. Commonly, residents are elderly and their need for care is because of degenerative health conditions associated with ageing e.g. reduced mobility. In a nursing home, care is provided 24-hours a day by Registered Nurses who are supported by Care Assistants. All residents require some element of nursing care such as administration of intravenous medication and/or wound care. Learn more about the difference between a care home and nursing home.
