What residential care means

Little Brook House is a residential care home, registered to provide personal care rather than nursing care. That covers help with washing and dressing, medication, meals, laundry and the ordinary business of the day, delivered by a team who know each resident by name. The home is most suited to people with some degree of mobility, and because the building is Grade II listed there is a limit to how many wheelchair users it can accommodate, so we always talk this through honestly at assessment.

Residential care is long-term care for older people who can no longer manage easily at home, but who do not need round-the-clock nursing. It covers the everyday things that become harder with age: meals, washing and dressing, medication, mobility and company.

At Little Brook House that support comes wrapped in ordinary life. Residents keep their routines and their independence, decorate their own rooms, and spend their days however they choose, with a warm team always close by.

Questions about residential care

What is the difference between residential and nursing care?

Residential care supports people with daily living, personal care, meals and activities. Nursing care additionally provides care from a registered nurse for complex medical needs. Little Brook House is registered as a residential care home and does not provide nursing care. If your relative needs nursing care, we will say so honestly and help you look in the right direction.

Will my relative have their own GP?

Residents are registered with a local GP practice, and we coordinate visits, medication and any specialist appointments on their behalf, keeping families informed throughout.
