Our team of experienced registered nurses provide quality medical care

Delivering expert nursing care

Care UK care homes provide a range of high quality care services, including nursing care for residents who have higher level needs which require medical support.

As part of our person-centred approach to care, our teams of experienced registered nurses provide quality medical care tailored to your loved one’s individual needs. Whether your loved one needs expert care right away or is living with a long-term, complex condition that means their needs will change with time, we’re here to help.

What do nursing care homes offer?

Our compassionate and dedicated nurses deliver round-the-clock medical care and are supported by a team of experienced care assistants. Before your loved one joins us, we’ll undertake an in-depth assessment of their needs and then create a personalised nursing care plan which we’ll frequently review.

Nursing care plans are important for providing excellent person-centred care. When a new residents moves into a Care UK home, we take the time to get to know them, ensuring their wishes and expectations are detailed in their care plan.

If you're still uncertain about whether your loved one needs residential care or nursing care, check out our handy comparison. It provides a clearer understanding of the difference between a care home and a nursing home, helping you decide which option best meets your loved one's needs.

Our approach to nursing care

At Care UK, quality nursing care underpins so much of what we do. In fact, you’ll find nurses working in a wide range of roles here, from delivering hands-on care to residents, to managing homes, working as regional directors supporting a group of homes, and even leading our Care, Quality and Governance team, providing policy and clinical leadership for our 10,000-plus colleagues. 

Nurses, like all our colleagues, support the emotional, psychological, social, physical, and cultural needs of each individual, recognising their unique qualities and history. This approach is part of a holistic care philosophy, which considers all aspects of a person's well-being rather than just focusing on physical health. By integrating holistic care with a person-centred approach, our nurses prioritise building meaningful relationships with each resident. 

From admission through to end-of-life care, they work diligently to empower residents, ensuring they have maximum choice and independence. This comprehensive care strategy helps residents live a happy and fulfilled life, addressing not only their health but also their emotional and social needs.

Our approach to nursing care

A home for life

Our highly skilled nurses provide a comprehensive range of in-depth medical services. This means that, even if your loved one’s needs change in the future, there’s no need for them to move to another home. Your loved one can continue receiving expert care from the people they trust in the place they call home.

Types of nursing care at Care UK:

  • Nursing dementia care - our  highly experienced nursing teams  are trained to provide support to people with nursing needs in addition to a dementia diagnosis.
  • End of life care - we offer caring, compassionate and fully personalised end of life care. Many Care UK homes have been accredited with the Gold Standards Framework, ensuring they deliver the highest standards of care to people at the end of their life. 
  • Palliative care -  Palliative care is specialised support for people living with an illness that can’t be cured. Its aims are to make people as comfortable as possible and support them to live an active life for as long as they can.
 

Nursing in a care home allows you to really get to know a person and follow their progress – often for the rest of their life, and that truly is a privilege. You can see how your skills, knowledge and holistic approach to care has made a real difference for them.
