Care Provision

A person with dementia will need more care and support as their condition progresses, and there may come a time when there’s a need to move into full-time or residential care. This could be because a care home may be able to meet the needs of the person better, or it could be because something changes that then makes it difficult for the person with dementia to stay living at home.

It can be hard to know when the time is right for a person with dementia to move into a care home and who should make this decision, but there are resources available to help decision making.
