Residential care may be the right choice when daily life becomes more challenging, lonely, or unsafe.

At Forest Care, residents enjoy meaningful activities, social engagement, beautiful surroundings, a sense of belonging, and a genuine home-from-home atmosphere. With personalised care tailored to individual needs, residents can maintain their independence, support their wellbeing, enjoy an active lifestyle, and receive the support they need to live well and with confidence.

The decision to move into a care home will depend on the individual’s circumstances and care needs. A care needs assessment can help determine the level of support required and whether residential care or nursing care is the most appropriate option. Wherever possible, the individual should be involved in the decision and make the choice themselves. If a person lacks the mental capacity to make this decision, a family member or appointed representative with the appropriate Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) may be able to make decisions on their behalf, ensuring their best interests, preferences and wellbeing remain at the heart of the process. At Forest Care, we understand that moving into a care home is a significant life decision. Our experienced team is here to support residents and their families every step of the way, answering questions, discussing care options, and helping you make an informed choice. We encourage you to Get in Touch to arrange a personal viewing and discover how our homes can support your individual needs.

Personal care involves support with everyday activities and is typically provided by trained carers. This may include assistance with washing, dressing, grooming, mobility, medication management, and using the toilet, helping individuals maintain their comfort, dignity, and independence. Nursing care is for people who have more complex health and care needs due to a medical, physical, or mental health condition, or long-term illness, that requires clinical support delivered by a qualified nurse, and some residents may also need specialist care for
more complex conditions. A nursing care home is designed for people with more complex healthcare needs who require regular monitoring, treatment, or ongoing nursing support in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. At Forest Care, we provide both levels of care depending on individual needs. Rowan Lodge, our award-winning nursing care home near Fleet, offers residential care, nursing care, and respite care, with 24-hour support from experienced nursing professionals.
