Hi,
Can anyone help me understand the official categories given to the registration of dementia care homes - I thought I understood but am now getting confused by all the conflicting information and terms used on different advice websites.
As far as my understanding goes there are homes that specialise in dementia care but do not employ nurses. These are called Residential EMI care homes?
Then there are homes that specialise in dementia care that also offer professional nursing. These are called Residential EMI Nursing care homes?
Is there also a third category: General nursing homes with specialist dementia care?
Can anyone assist with describing the differences that can be observed in the three categories? I realise that all homes vary but I am seeking to understand the generic differences.
All help would be gratefully received.
Jancis
