Admission
Moving into a nursing or residential
home is a very significant step for many people. It is important to ensure that
the home you are considering can offer the kind of accommodation and care that
you need, and that you will be happy there. The following organisations can
offer advice about the factors you should consider when choosing a home
| · Age Concern |
| · Cumbria Social Services |
| · Help the Aged |
| · Citizens Advice Bureau |
Homes are regularly inspected by their
registration authorities and their reports should be available for you to read
in local libraries.
We welcome visits from people who are
looking for a nursing or residential home, and are happy to arrange admission
for a trial period if this would be helpful.
