Choosing care homes in Ashton-under-Lyne
When comparing care homes, start with the CQC rating and the date it was published, then visit in person at different times of day. Ask how staff support people with needs like yours, what the fees include and how they change, and whether the home accepts local authority or NHS Continuing Healthcare funding. Homes with nursing care have registered nurses on site around the clock; residential homes provide personal care only.
