Introduction
Care homes for people with mental health problems
As a result of the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001 ('the Act') there are now no legal differences between residential homes and nursing homes. They are all care homes and can be more flexible about the services they offer. They can meet all aspects of your accommodation, support and care, including nursing care.
This means that you may choose to move into a care home for the rest of your life. It means that the staff will be able to cater for your changing needs and you should not have to move if you become ill.
Some care homes will still offer day-to-day nursing care by their own nurses. If you are already in poor health you may prefer to be in a home that offers this service. You should always check to make sure that the particular care home you choose is able and willing to meet all your needs.
You may choose to stay in a care home permanently, or for regular, planned short breaks away from your family or from living on your own. The support and care you receive during your stay may prepare you for another move, perhaps into supported housing or to another part of the country to be nearer family or friends.
