Yes, individual care homes can indeed set their own criteria. Some will not accept people who wander, go into other peoples rooms, or are up at night. Some will not accept incontinence. Mums care home would accept people who needed a hoist and would look after them right up to the end. Mum passed away in her care home. The GP prescribed the medication needed and district nurses sorted out the pain relief, syringe driver, etc.maybe it was the criteria of the particular home i worked in. we had very few that stayed until deceased. maybe it was staffing levels
I always say that it is a good idea to ask any potential care home what conditions/behaviour that a care home wouldnt accept, because there is so much variation.
