What Can an All-Inclusive Care Home Provide?

In the UK, there are various types of care homes available to cater to the different needs of older people. One such type is an all-inclusive care home, where you pay care home fees that includes all services and amenities provided within the home. This includes accommodation, food, activities, and on-site facilities. 

The all-inclusive fees also cover the maintenance of the areas and rooms used by residents, ensuring they can continue to enjoy them without much downtime. The cost of care will depend on various factors such as the care home's location, the type of care required, an individual's savings, property ownership, and what the care home provides.

Staying in a luxury care home can be highly beneficial for individuals, as it eliminates potential financial stress and hassle. With the cost of living on the rise, a care home can provide a perfect solution to the stresses of household management and budgeting. 

It offers peace of mind, alleviating worries about paying bills, while living expenses continue to climb at an alarming rate. According to the BBC, energy costs are one of the main causes of inflation. Living in a care home can provide individuals with peace of mind, eliminating the worries of energy bills during the colder months.

What Residents Can Expect

Every care home has a different approach to providing care, meaning that what you can expect from one luxury care home is highly likely to vary from another care home. However, for many all-inclusive care homes, you can expect the day-to-day services of residential home life to be very similar. If you want to get an idea of what day-to-day life might be like if you choose to move into an all-inclusive care home, here are a few things you can expect from many all-inclusive care homes:

24/7 Medical Care

In an all-inclusive care home, residents can expect to receive expert medical care and personal care from a team of registered nurses and care professionals. Many private care homes will have access to a local GP, a dentist, an optician and sometimes a physiotherapist who are available to residents, which may or may not be included in the weekly care home fee. It is also dependent on residents' individual needs so a care needs assessment will need to be carried out to see what financial options are available. Residents should always be notified beforehand if they need to cover the extra cost of treatment.

Nutritious Meals

Meals, snacks and drinks will be included in your monthly fee when staying at an all-inclusive care home. From breakfast through to supper, most care homes provide set menus for their residents to choose from on a day-to-day basis. Residents will often have the option to request their favourite meal or have their meals tailored to meet specific dietary requirements.

More often than not, care homes are flexible when it comes to their food and drink options and when and where a resident chooses to eat their meals, whether that's eating in a communal dining room, in their own rooms, outside during the summer months, or in a private dining room where they can enjoy their meal with loved ones. If a resident needs assistance with eating, a staff member will always be available to help make meal times as safe and enjoyable as possible.

Reassurance For Residents & Loved Ones

For many people, moving into a care home can be a daunting experience. An experience that can leave loved ones anxious and worried, wondering whether they’re doing the right thing. In a luxury care home, you can rest assured that there will always be a supportive team available, ready to help you feel at ease and provide peace of mind. The care home team plays a big part in the all-inclusive care home experience, they are there to provide emotional support to residents and family members and be a constant source of reassurance.

Excellent Facilities 

One thing that many care homes pride themselves on is their first-class amenities. Depending on each care home, the facilities available will differ slightly. Most care homes across the UK offer facilities such as landscaped gardens, dining rooms and communal areas. Some may also offer amenities such as a cinema room, library and activities programme.

Local Trips Our & In-house Events

When staying in an all-inclusive care home, you’ll find that any day trips you go on, or any events that take place on the care home’s grounds will often be covered by the weekly fees; whether that's paying for attraction tickets, meals out in the local area, transportation, and live entertainment in the form of a musician or dancer.
