Deciding to move into a care home is a deeply personal and emotional choice for everyone involved. The right time for residential care depends on an individual’s lifestyle, living environment, and personal care needs, including health, hygiene, and overall wellbeing.
If daily life is becoming lonely, challenging, or affecting health, a care home can provide companionship, round-the-clock support, and a nurturing environment. With meaningful and joyful activities, beautiful surroundings, and a true home-away-from-home atmosphere, residents can enjoy a fulfilling and worry-free lifestyle.
A needs assessment will help determine whether a person requires permanent care and the level of care they need. The elderly individual must either give their consent to move into a Forest care home, or a family member with valid Power of Attorney can make the decision on their behalf.
We are here to support you through this important decision and encourage you to reach out to arrange a personal viewing.
Take the time to visit several care homes and look for one that emphasises person-centred care. The decision will ultimately depend on the individual’s needs and financial situation. Our friendly team is here to answer any questions and guide you through the process.
