• Steps to moving into residential care

  What you need to think about when you're considering residential care.

• Your Admission Agreement and care plan

  When you move into residential care in a rest home or hospital, you sign a contract, and get information about your rights and responsibilities.

• Transferring to different residential care

  You can transfer to another residential care facility if you want to. Or you may have to transfer if your care needs change.

• Urgent admissions to residential care

  Even if your need is urgent, you can only move into your preferred rest home or hospital if it has a suitable vacancy.
