What Does An All Inclusive Care Home Mean?

All inclusive care homes are different to regular care homes; they provide friendly carers offering person centred care. Unlike other homes that offer some help, these homes offer residents with the complete package, an en suite bedroom taking care of where they can stay, a chef to create yummy dishes, doctor visits if needed, all alongside lots of fun things to do - all in one warm and inviting community.

Let’s explore all inclusive care homes a little further, where residents feel happy and comfortable, knowing all is cared for. We will also look into why some families prefer this type of care home for their loved ones and what residents can expect.
