Things to consider when choosing
a care or nursing home
Location
When choosing a care or nursing home, the location is important. You may want to continue to live near family and friends, or within easy access to local amenities.
Whatever is important to you, we have care and nursing homes across the country, conveniently located for you.
What’s more, none of our homes have restricted visiting hours, or require your friends and family to pre-book a visit; making it easy for those living close by to pop in for a cup of tea, or take you out for the day.
Level of care
There are varying types of residential care options that are tailored to your needs.
Our retirement villages combine self-contained apartments and residential care and nursing homes. This offers a retirement living environment for people at different stages of their lives; enabling you to live comfortably in the knowledge that specialist, 24/7 support is available whenever you need it.
All of our care and nursing homes offer respite stays, end-of-life and dementia care for older people tailored to individual needs. From the moment you enquire, our expert care teams will get to know you and build a bespoke care plan around your needs and desires.
Care team
When choosing your new home, it’s important to think about the team who will be providing your care. Are they well-trained to support your needs? Do you need nursing care?
All of our care homes have a team of highly-trained and experienced professionals who will support you whatever your level of need. They are passionate about what they do and are dedicated to ensuring you always feel confident and supported. We encourage you to visit our care homes so you can meet our friendly team and get a feel of what it would be like to live there.
Personal needs
Residential care can be the ideal solution for people with 24-hour care needs. However, when choosing a care home, you should make sure it is able to support you.
All of our care homes provide support to people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s, as well as providing bespoke palliative and end-of-life care. When you choose an Agincare care home, our care team will get to know you, understand your wishes and develop a care plan that provides a clear direction on the type of care you need.
Whether you require personal care, support with daily tasks, or help getting out and about, our care team will be on hand to support you in living as independently as possible.
Care Quality Commission
It is important when choosing your new home to ensure it is safe and regulated to a good standard. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. They inspect and regulate different care services, including care and nursing homes, home care and live-in care. The CQC base their inspection on five key questions: Are they safe? Are they effective? Are they caring? Are they responsive to people’s needs? And are they well-led?
We’re proud that the CQC has rated and regulated all of our care and nursing homes to provide you with the confidence that we deliver high-quality care which is of a high standard.
All reports can be found on the CQC website.
Social life and activities
Each home has its own community with social activities, events and trips out on offer to help you maintain the type of life you had at home, whether that is quiet and relaxed or an active lifestyle.
We have designated Activities Coordinators in each care and nursing home who spend time getting to know you and will hand-pick activities based on what you and our other residents like. We have a different activity every day to provide choice, whether that’s a quiet painting activity or a group outing.
We recognise each resident is unique so there is opportunity to continue hobbies and interests with our activities teams who hand-pick activities based on your wishes.
All-inclusive fees
Find a care home that does it all for a single, weekly fee.
Our fully managed care home fees start at £895 per week. This price includes accommodation, 24-hour tailored residential or nursing care, all meals, laundry and a range of activities and outings.

Aside from the cost saving benefit, care and nursing homes also provide consistent support 24-hours a day.
An exact quote for our homes is dependent on a free, no obligation care assessment once you have visited the home of your choice.
Is a care or nursing home right for you?
If you feel a care or nursing home isn’t right for you, another care type may be more suitable.
We offer a complete pathway of care services, ranging from flexible home care visits to 24-hour live-in care. All of our care options are adaptable to suit people living with all levels of need, and our quick switching process means you can easily move from care at home to a care and nursing home, or vice versa, at any moment.

The difference between residential and nursing homes is the level of care provided.
Both offer bespoke 24-hour care from a professional highly trained team of care workers, however, in a nursing home, you also have registered nurses on duty around the clock. Our nurses are qualified to provide the same level of care as district nurses and can support a wide variety of specialist medical needs.
This means that our nursing homes are well-suited for people with a long-term illness or medical condition needing regular nursing support.
We know just how important our companionships with fluffy friends can be. Not only are they part of the family, they also help with mental and physical well-being. This is why we make every effort to keep you and your pets together when you join us.
The Registered Manager for each care home makes the decision as to whether they can accommodate your pet. We advise that you speak to the manager about this when you visit your chosen care home.
We have three residential homes in Kent which also specialise in dementia needs. Our closest nursing homes to Kent are Waterside Care Home in London and St Peter’s Park Retirement Village in East Sussex.
Funding may be available from your local authority. Firstly, they will check how much help and what kind of care you need: this is called a care needs assessment. Following on from that, a free financial assessment will calculate the total cost of care and how much you’ll need to contribute. During the financial assessment it’s important to be open and honest about all your assets so that everything can be taken into consideration.
If you don’t want a financial assessment you can choose to pay for your care home yourself – this is called self-funding.
If you would like to view our care home then don’t hesitate to give us a call today. We would be happy to arrange a no obligation tour with our Registered Manager. They will be on hand to answer any questions and introduce you to our care team. Alternatively, we have regular coffee mornings where anyone is able to pop in. This is great opportunity to get to know our team and residents.
