Choosing Between Residential Care and Nursing Care
Finding the right type of care for a loved one can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with the decision between choosing residential care or nursing care. At Lidder Care, we regularly support families through this process as we provide both these care options in Mansfield.
Lidder Care provides residential care at Newgate Lodge Care Home in Mansfield and nursing care at Lowmoor Nursing Home in Kirkby in Ashfield.
Both types of care offer safety, compassion and support but the type of care required will usually determine which setting and type of care is right for your loved one.
What is Residential Care?
Residential care supports people who need help and assistance with daily tasks but do not require 24/7 nursing.
