Long term residential and nursing care in Hampshire

Residential and nursing care homes provide long term care for people and provide continuous 24-hour support. Residential homes may support some nursing care needs that could be met by a community nurse. A nursing home will provide a higher level of support for people with a greater level of need and have on site nursing support 24 hours a day.

Hampshire County Council will carry out a Care Act Assessment which will determine your care and support needs and how these can be best met. This will be your support plan. It will also determine whether you are eligible to receive help from the Council. Find out more about getting help and support from the Council.

If you are eligible for help from the Council, and your care needs would be best met through a residential or nursing home, our Brokerage Team will help to find suitable care options for you. We will give you a choice of care homes, it is likely that one of these will be a Hampshire County Council Care Home and the other from a private provider. This is known as our Choice of Accommodation policy.
