Residential care is care provided in a care home and has no nursing care component nor any funding component via the NHS. Funding is either fully funded by a council, part funded by a council and part by first and third parties, or fully self-funded (the resident and their family). A third party top up applies in about 50% of placements. Residential care does not have a therapy led approach and is not intermediate care, BUT bedded intermediate care facilities with no nursing are registered with CQC as residential care homes.

Care provided in a care home.

Care in a care home, with or without nursing, for older people or people with disabilities who require 24-hour care. Care homes offer trained staff and an adapted environment suitable for the needs of ill, frail or disabled people.The system some councils use to decide how much money people get for their support. There are clear rules, so everyone can see that money is given out fairly. Once your needs have been assessed, you will be allocated an indicative budget - so that you know how much money you have to spend on care and support. The purpose of an indicative budget is to help you plan the care and support that will help you meet your assessed needs - it might not be the final amount that you get, as you may find that it is not enough (or is more than enough) to meet those needs.
