What's the difference between a care home and a nursing home?

Care home

In a care home, personal care is provided 24 hours a day by trained care assistants. Residents in a care home tend to be elderly and unable to live independently. They might require support with day-to-day tasks such as washing, dressing, eating and getting around.

Nursing home

In a nursing home, care is provided by registered nurses, with support from care assistants. Nursing care may include things like wound care, intravenous medication, and medical interventions. Some nursing homes also specialise in a specific health condition, such as cancer or dementia.
