Our dedicated supportive and friendly care home staff carry our values through when supporting our residents. We identify the amenities and facilities within our residential homes and nursing homes, and how they add to a positive and better quality of life. Not only does this article help you understand the difference between Residential Care and Nursing Care, but our friendly team members are happy to help you answer any questions or queries you may have.
Difference between residential care & nursing care
At TLC Care, our residents in Nursing Care receive specialist support from qualified and registered nurses who deliver medical aid for those who have a medical condition or require necessary medication and extra support. Whereas our Residential Care provides assistance to residents with daily living activities in a home-like setting. Residential Care does not have the same level of medical oversight and is more suited for individuals who want to live independently but still have easy access to additional support. At TLC Care we value and promote independence for all our residents whether they are in Residential Care or Nursing Care.
Residents receiving specialist Nursing Care and Residential Care, are supported by our friendly and dedicated teams 24 hours, 365 days a year, so you or your loved one never need to worry about feeling unsupported. Our specialist team understand the importance of great quality of life, hence providing support and encouraging the residents to engage in their favourite hobbies and participate in social activities to maintain good physical well-being, as well as a plethora of social interaction opportunities to meet new people and make new friends. In our residential homes and nursing homes, there are a variety of different events and activities occurring throughout the calendar month so there is always something to do and keep our residents entertained.
Tailored support and personalised care
Each resident at TLC Care goes through a friendly care needs assessment before coming to the home in order to see what type of care will be appropriate to meet the individual needs, and tailor customised care plans according to the level of support required. At TLC Care we value and promote independence and social engagement for our residents, so the level of support and personal care can be adjusted to the resident’s discretion. With Nursing Care, residents receive day and night medical attention when required, and also offer specialised therapies for those with a more complex medical condition and mobility needs. For those in Residential Care, our home care team promote independent living while offering additional support when required. At TLC Care we believe it is important to promote independent living and social engagements to elderly people through personalised care support services and social activities, but also consider the individual’s preferences and lifestyle choices when customising the care plan.
To help make the Nursing Care we provide so successful, the dedicated and compassionate nursing care teams use specially selected facilities such as advanced medical equipment, rehabilitation centres and specialised therapy programmes, to support residents with complex care and medical care needs. With both the 21 century technology and the expertise of our experienced qualified nurses, our specialist teams can deliver award-winning specialist Nursing Care in order to improve quality of life.
Luxury facilities for better quality of Life
All our care homes at TLC Care, provide luxury facilities onsite which can benefit and improve the quality of life for our residents. Our homes offer both residents in a residential setting and in Nursing Care a range of different recreational activities, cafes and luxury fine dining and nutrition at our high-quality restaurant within the homes. Kailash Manor and Karuna Manor are both Residential Care homes and Nursing Care homes, that are dedicated to the Hindu religion and follow the transitional celebrations and way of culture. The luxury fine dining restaurant within the homes caters specifically to vegetarian meals to respect the Hindu faith.
Residents also have access to luxury onsite facilities in specific homes such as a lavish in-house cinema room with surround sound speaker systems, inviting and spacious lounges, libraries and private dining rooms, putting green fun and spa relaxation facilities like an onsite beauty and hair salon. Our residents can fully pamper themselves and enjoy all the facilities with their friends while giving the opportunity to meet new individuals.
