Care homes in Ilford offer different types of support, from residential and dementia care to more specialist nursing care. Costs will vary depending on the level of care you’re looking for, with light-touch residential care that supports daily tasks and staying well often being more affordable than 24/7 nursing and clinical care for more advanced conditions.
