Care Homes in Bishop Auckland
Are you looking for a residential care home in Bishop Auckland?
Finding a care home that offers the facilities and specialisms that you need, but which will also feel like home, can be challenging. TrustedCare was created to help save you time and stress by bringing every CQC registered care home in Bishop Auckland to one, easy-to-use, online directory.
We know that making the decision to research care homes in Bishop Auckland is just the first step in a complex and emotional process. Whilst our website has been specially designed to help make that process as easy as possible, we understand that, sometimes, care seekers will benefit from talking to an expert. Our Care Liaison Team consists of trained, compassionate Care Advisers who are on hand to offer you advice and answer any general questions that you might have. Your Care Adviser will talk through your circumstances and the specialisms and facilities that you are looking for.
A burning question that many care seekers have is how much care in Bishop Auckland costs; we can confirm that the average weekly fee in Bishop Auckland is £805 but this will of course depend upon the care provider and care needs of the person. It's recommended that you contact your local authority to arrange a Financial Assessment which will determine whether you are eligible for any funding support for your care costs.
Below, you will be able to explore care homes in Bishop Auckland which are able to support a range of specialisms from respite care to dementia care. You may be wondering what the difference between a care home and a nursing home is and we can advise that the main differentiator is that a nursing home has a Registered Nurse (RGN) on duty all hours of the day and night whilst a care home only has Carers on duty.
Before choosing a care home in Bishop Auckland it is important that you visit at least two homes so that you can gauge the environment; after all, you wouldn’t move to a new house without seeing it first. If you would like help booking these appointments, just ask your Care Adviser, who will be happy to book the visits on your behalf at a time that suits you. Getting in touch with a Care Adviser couldn’t be easier; simply call, email, or start a live chat in the box at the bottom right of this screen.
