Care Homes (Carers Trust)
This Carers Trust page provides practical information for carers supporting someone who is moving into a care home, whether for a short-term stay or a permanent move.

It explains how carers can remain involved in care decisions, where to find emotional and peer support, and how to access advice from organisations like the Relatives and Residents Association.

The page also covers how to choose a suitable care home, understand funding options—including local authority and NHS support—and find further guidance on legal and financial matters.
