We are often asked the question "What is the difference between "residential" care and "nursing" care homes?"
Residential Care
In a residential care home you will find care assistants who will tend to the residents care needs. It is not necessary to have qualified nurses in a residential setting.
If there is a need for a nurse to tend to a resident then a district nurse would be contacted to call at the Home and they would attend to whatever nursing need was required i.e. wound dressing etc
Nursing Care
In a nursing home there are care assistants but there will also be qualified nurses employed by the Care Home.
Nurses will have a RGN qualification which is a Registered General Nurse or they may also have a RMN qualification which is a registered Mental Nurse.
