Specialist
homes are registered either
as nursing homes or care homes and this
is determined by the level of care that
is required. Apart from the elderly and
infirm they also care for people of all
ages from adults to babies. They are often
equipped with special facilities for people
with particular needs whose requirements
cover a whole spectrum of physical and mental
disabilities. Such as learning difficulties,
alzheimers, dementia, physical disablement,
sight impairment, eating disorders and brain
injuries.
