Prime Care is a family run organisation that established in X

At our homes in Southport we provide Residential, Respite and Dementia Care.

Conducted by local authorities to determine what care and support a person needs, a care needs assessment provides recommendations on how and what care should be provided. A needs assessment is free and if you or a loved one is considering moving into a care home you should contact your local authority.

Sometimes, daily living can become more challenging as we age. This doesn’t necessarily mean moving to a care home, but it’s a good time to explore your options. Here are some signs that a care home might provide the additional support needed:

• Increased Difficulty with Daily Tasks: Struggling with activities like bathing, dressing, or preparing meals can be a sign that extra assistance is needed.
• Safety Concerns: Frequent falls or difficulty managing medications could indicate a need for a more secure environment.
• Declining Health: A rapid decline in physical or mental health may necessitate a higher level of care.
• Social Isolation: Loneliness can negatively impact well-being. Care homes offer opportunities for social interaction and engagement.
• Caregiver Strain: While family and friends can be a tremendous source of support, sometimes they may not be able to provide the level of care needed.

It’s the proposed resident’s choice, but there are a few scenarios where it is somebody else’s such as, the proposed resident doesn’t have capacity, a serious mental health issue or they don’t have capacity.
