Types of care homes we can find for you
With our trusted network of residential, nursing, and dementia care homes across the UK, we’re here to help you find the best care home that truly fits your needs. Whether it’s for yourself or a loved one, we make sure every care placement is the perfect match.
Residential care home
Residential care homes offer round-the-clock support and care for people who are generally over the age of 65 and need a little extra help in daily life. Whether it’s for short stays, longer-term care, or support during times of need, these homes provide a safe and caring environment. Friendly healthcare professionals are always on hand to provide companionship and assist with everyday tasks like washing, taking medication, getting dressed, and moving around so residents can feel comfortable, cared for, and supported every step of the way to maintain their independence and lifestyle.
Nursing care home
A nursing care home, sometimes called a residential nursing home or a care home with nursing, is a comfortable, supportive place where residents receive nurse-led care from qualified nurses who are on-site 24 hours a day. These homes are specially designed for people with ongoing health conditions or complex medical and clinical needs that affect their daily lives. Residents may need regular medical attention, help with mobility, or support managing long-term illnesses to maintain their lifestyle, but they don’t need to be in a hospital to receive this type of care.
Dementia care home
A dementia care home is a specialist setting designed to support people living with dementia at every stage of their condition. While many care homes can offer dementia support, they may not be equipped to meet more complex needs as the condition progresses. These homes provide tailored care in a safe and comforting environment, with staff specially trained to understand the unique challenges of dementia. Every element of a dementia care home is thoughtfully designed to help residents feel calm and at ease, no matter where they are on their journey.

Testimonials
George and Paul
"My care liaison advisor was very helpful and professional, answered any questions and concerns in a timely manner and made me feel comfortable about getting care for my Dad. Professional from start to finish and my Dad was very happy with all the team he met."
Alina, Saeed and Gale
"We were in a rather desperate situation trying to find accommodation for an elderly neighbour whose eviction deadline was imminent, and her provision from the local authority wasn't yet finalised. Your team rose to the challenge and found a local care home, arranging for an assessment to be done the following day. We are extremely grateful and satisfied with the professional, caring service from your team."
Mira and Enid
"Amazingly efficient service. Saved me so much time and effort finding a care home for my mum. My care liaison advisor was brilliant, they even checked the type of food the homes serve as the menu on one of the websites I’d previously looked at didn’t appear to be suitable. My mum was moved into one of the homes within 3 weeks of completing the online form."

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about care homes
For more information about care homes, please refer to our FAQs below.
1. What is a care home?
A care home also known as a residential home is a warm, secure, and supportive living environment designed for people in later life who may need extra help with everyday tasks. It offers a comfortable place to live, with round-the-clock assistance from trained care staff who are there to ensure residents feel safe, cared for, and valued.
Residents receive personalised support tailored to their individual needs, which can include:
- Personal care
- Washing
- Medication administration
- Cooking
- Companionship
- Support with physical and mental exercise
- Dressing
- Cleaning
2. What is the difference between a care home and care at home?
When it comes to arranging care, it’s important to find a solution that feels right for you or your loved one. Care homes and home care each offer compassionate support tailored to individual needs.
Care homes are warm, residential settings where individuals, often older adults receive day-to-day support from trained carers or nurses. These homes offer a safe and social environment, with help available for personal care, meals, and daily activities.
Home care, also known as care at home, allows people of all ages to receive professional support in the comfort of their own home. Whether short-term or long-term, this flexible option can include help with personal care, medication, mobility, and companionship while maintaining familiar routines and surroundings.
Both care arrangements are designed to provide the right level of support, depending on your preferences, health needs, and lifestyle.
If you’re looking to arrange care for yourself or a loved one and need support, our friendly team are available to help. Simply contact them by ringing 0808 175 3609, or complete our short form above.
3. Is the CHS care selection service free of charge?
At CHS Healthcare, our care home selection service comes at no cost.
We offer our expert support and guidance through your journey to finding a care home, providing independent, advice with no bias or financial burden.
Once your care home placement commences, you will be required to pay for the care delivered to you or your loved one.
4. When should you move someone into a care home?
Deciding when it’s time to move into a care home can be a difficult and emotional decision.
It’s important to remember that each individual’s situation is different and they may need time to consider their options. Generally, a person will move into a care home when they are no longer able to look after themselves and need additional support and assistance with daily tasks, especially if they have a medical condition such as dementia.
For more information on when you should move someone into a care home with dementia, please visit the Alzheimer’s Society dementia support page.
5. How much does a care home cost?
The cost of a care home can vary depending on many factors, which can include:
- The type of care and support the individual needs
- The chosen care home and location
- The specialists providing the care in the care home, such as a nurse or carer
- Features of the care home and the room in which the individual will live
When searching for a care home with CHS Healthcare, we understand the importance of cost and how it can be a key factor in a care decision. Our service ensures we match care homes that meet your exact needs, including cost, location, type of care home, features of the care home and much more.
