Frequently Asked Questions

When should you go into residential care?

Making the decision to move into a care home is never easy and depends on individual circumstances like lifestyle, environment, and care needs.

If life becomes lonely or difficult to manage safely, residential care offers 24/7 support alongside a warm, welcoming community. With companionship, activities, and a safe environment, it provides a true home away from home where residents can feel supported and connected. Get in touch with our friendly team to discuss your care needs.

Who decides when someone goes into a care home?

A needs assessment will determine whether a person requires permanent care or not and the extent to which they do. The elderly person themselves must either have given their consent to move into a Forest care home or another person (usually a family member) must have a valid Power of Attorney to make the decision on their behalf.

We’re here to support you, arrange a personal viewing with our friendly team.

How do you choose a good care home?

Take time to visit a few care homes and look for one that provides person-centred care. Your decision will depend on individual needs and financial circumstances, and our friendly team is always here to answer your questions. You can explore our Help & Advice page for FAQs, take virtual tours, or book a visit to see our homes in person. All our homes are rated either ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and our Hampshire homes are also recognised by the Hampshire Care Awards for their high standards of care.

What is the difference between nursing care and personal care?

Nursing care is typically care that needs to be provided by qualified Registered Nurses such as wound care dressings, catheter care, sub-cutaneous medication administration and the like. Personal care is typically provided by carers and involves help with daily tasks such as washing, dressing, going to the toilet and so on.

Please call us on 0333 305 1785 or email enquiries@forestcare.co.uk to discuss your care needs.
