There are different levels of care accommodation to suit different stages in life and levels of care required. Below, there is a definition and explanation for the types of care home that you may wish to consider. When thinking of the future, a “dual registered” home may be a favourable option for those with assessed “residential” needs.
Dual registered homes provide residential and nursing care. Thus the home will be able to continue to care for the resident in the event that their health or well-being deteriorates to a stage where nursing care is needed. Of course, this is only one consideration among many. We hope this list will help you to find the home that is right for you.
Residential or Nursing Care?
Residential Homes for adults provide full board and personal care to people with disabilities and older people; services include assistance with daily living, such as washing, bathing, dressing, toilet needs and eating.
Nursing Homes provide the same range of services as residential homes but also, they provide care needing the constant involvement of, or supervision by, a qualified nurse, and these homes must be managed by a registered nurse or doctor.
Short term, or respite care, designed to give carers a break, is available in both residential and nursing homes.
All homes have been registered by a government agency.
Choosing a residential or nursing home
Our advice is to always visit the home you are considering moving into. Ask to look around the home, including the bedrooms, bathrooms and other facilities. If you are unable to do this, ask a relative or friend to do it for you. When doing so, it may be useful to go through the following check-list:
• Does the home meet your standards of cleanliness and comfort?
• Does the home smell clean and fresh?
• Ask about staffing levels, both day and night.
• What qualifications do the staff have?
• Do the staff seem friendly?
• Ask other people who stay there what they think of the home and the staff.
• Ask to see a sample menu and a list of activities that people can do there.• Ask a member of staff if you will be allowed to bring some personal items into the home, such as photographs, clocks and small pieces of furniture.• Is the décor adequate?
• Can you have a choice of a single or shared room?• Are there smoking/non-smoking areas?• Can you drink alcohol if you want to?• Is there a lift/stair-lift?• Are there en-suite toilet or washing facilities in the bedrooms?
Are you able to Choose: • When you get up and go to bed?
• What and when you would like to eat?• What time you see your visitors?
• To go out with your friends?
• To keep a pet or plants?• To keep your own pension/bank books?
• To entertain your family and friends?
Other Considerations and Queries
• Make sure you will have some privacy if you want it.• Is there somewhere safe for you to keep your valuables?
• Is there a residents’ committee?
•Is there an alarm button in your room?
• Does the home have a complaints procedure?
• Ask what is included in the fees?
• Are there any hidden extras you will be expected to pay for?
• If you want to leave, what period of notice would you have to give?
• What are the arrangements for funerals and payment should you die?• What notice would the home give you?
• What happens if you go into hospital or on holiday?
• How will the cost of the home be met?
• Will you be able to afford it?
Choosing the correct home for you or your relative is a very important process and you should ensure that all your needs and expectations are met before deciding upon making your move to one. Once a move has been agreed a nursing home or residential home can really help an older person who is struggling with certain tasks and could do with the help, many people also find they enjoy the social interaction at the home and the added security they have.

Welcome to Lovett Care Group . We have been operating care homes for over a decade and are passionate about delivering the highest quality care and support at all times. Our focus is to enable older people to continue to live an active and enriched life, regardless of their needs.
Not ready to move to a care home? There’s an alternative option…
For too long, the only way many people could access the additional care and support they needed as they grew older was to sell the family home and dip into their equity to pay for it – and the main option provided was in a care home setting.
Thankfully, forward thinking providers are looking at how they can tailor their services so that there’s a real choice for people in later life that adapts and responds to the wants and needs of the individual – people no longer have to be shoe-horned into what’s available which in the past has often been a care home.
One example is Westward Care which, due to demand, has continued to expand its Retirement Apartment offer at Southlands.
Westward Care’s Retirement Apartments enable people to retain their assets and instead of having to move into a care home and pay an all-inclusive weekly fee to cover accommodation and services (some of which they may not want or need), they can live completely independently in their apartment, paying only for the services they use. The most important aspect of Westward Care’s option is, that unlike other Retirement Apartments when you buy an Apartment you can benefit from on-site care and support 24/7 giving people reassurance that help is available at any time should they need it.
The advantages of this model are many; people continue to own their own home; they don’t have to pay to rent; and only access services such as community nursing, care, meals, laundry etc when required which substantially reduces the fees they would pay for full time care.
Anna and John decided to make the move from London to Leeds to be closer to their daughter Sue after John suffered a small stroke and then fell on the stairs at home. They opted for Southlands because they wanted to continue to live in their own home, go out and about and generally do their own thing, but with the reassurance that care and support is there if they need it. John says: “I can honestly say I haven’t missed our old house at all. I feel like we’ve left all our worries behind. All of the stresses and strains have gone away and we’re enjoying our life again.”

Fostering is a way of providing family life for someone else’s child in your own home when they are unable to live with their birth family. This can be due to many reasons; illness, relationship problems, family breakdown, or perhaps a situation where the child’s welfare is threatened. Fostering differs from adoption, in that an adoption order ends a child’s legal relationship with their natural family, whereas looked after children remain the legal responsibility of the local authority and/or their birth parents. For a whole variety of reasons there are around 45,000 children in the system.
There is a common misconception that children placed in foster care have been so because of delinquency, anti-social behaviour or other behaviour not becoming of their home environment. This is simply not the case. Many children are the unfortunate casualties of parental break-ups, a single parent suffering from illness be it emotional or physical, or simply a child who is not wanted by their biological parent/parents. Foster carers provide a safe, secure and stable environment for these children and young people and the foster care placement can last for days, months or even years. Many children return home to their families but others may receive long-term support; either through continued fostering, adoption, residential care or by being helped to live independently.
First and foremost a family looking to adopt or become a foster carer needs to be able to provide any child under their care a stable and loving environment where they can feel safe and wanted. If you believe this is you, you will find on this website a number of agencies and local departments that can give you more information on the process and discuss with you any questions you may have.
Children in Yorkshire and the Humber are waiting for loving, permanent homes
The adoption agencies which provide adoption services for the local councils in the Yorkshire and Humber area are looking for families with room in their heart and in their home for children who are waiting.
Across the region there are around 200 children waiting for a permanent loving home.
Lots of people want to adopt, but unfortunately children in sibling groups, those who are older, have health needs or who have a minority ethnic heritage, often wait much longer to find a loving family. This is why the regional adoption agencies for the area; One Adoption North and Humber, One Adoption South Yorkshire and One Adoption West Yorkshire, are hoping to find people who might be able to meet the needs of these children.
Considering adoption is a huge decision for anyone. At times it is challenging, as parenthood is for everyone, but adoption is an incredibly rewarding and positive experience. A lot of parents who adopted siblings say adopting children with their brothers and sisters has been the most beneficial factor in their children’s adoption journey.
There are a lot of myths surrounding who can and can’t adopt but it’s important that people don’t rule themselves out without finding out the facts.
Adopters don’t have to be married or in a relationship. Lots of single people adopt through One Adoption, and around 20% of all adopters approved by One Adoption are LGBTQ+. People of any race or religion are welcome to apply, as are people who have a disability. The only criteria is that you must be 21 years or older, have space in your home and a willingness to provide a safe and loving home for a child. Finance is also sometimes seen as a barrier to adopting, but you don’t have to have a certain income or amount of savings to adopt, you just need to be financially secure enough to raise a child.
The first step to becoming an adopter is to attend an information event which are held regularly by the three One Adoption agencies. Most events are online and can be booked through the One Adoption website: www.oneadoption.co.uk.

One of the most basic elements of living a healthy life is getting an adequate amount of exercise. Proper exercise is unfortunately one of the most ignored factors in a healthy lifestyle, which is one of the main reasons why obesity is becoming such a common problem. The majority of individuals do not get enough exercise to balance their caloric intake, which results in excessive weight gain. To live a truly healthy life, you need to be familiar with the basics of good exercise, as well as how regular exercise can benefit your body.
But, what are the benefits of exercise? Well, they are numerous! Firstly, good quality exercise allows you to Increase your Basal Metabolic Rate (BML). This is one of the best benefits associated with exercise is that over time, you will increase your basal metabolic rate (BMR). Your BMR is defined as the amount of energy you burn while resting. As a general rule, increasing your muscle mass (even by a small amount) causes a subsequent increase in your BMR; this means that you will eventually have higher caloric requirements to satisfy your active lifestyle. This is also a great way to lose extra weight, as your body increases its percentage of lean muscle mass.
Exercise is shown to improve your mood! That’s right, do your family complain you’re always grumpy? Scientific studies have proven that regular exercise promotes a general feeling of well-being. This usually manifests by you feeling much more relaxed and happier during your daily activities. In addition to this, exercise also reduces stress and promotes a positive self-image. As your body begins to display the positive effects of your exercise routine, you will begin to notice that your confidence will increase as well. It’s a proven fact that regular exercise is also one of the best ways to prevent depression.
