What Is A Care Home?

A care home is a place where individuals can live and receive support and care for their daily needs. These individuals may be elderly, disabled, or have mental health issues. Care homes can be either residential or nursing homes, and they can be run by private companies, charities, or local authorities. Residential care homes provide accommodation, meals, and assistance with daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, and administering medication. Nursing homes, on the other hand, provide additional medical support, such as nursing care and rehabilitation services. Care home fire safety is of vital importance!

Who Is Vulnerable In A Care Home?

Residents of care homes are particularly vulnerable to fire due to age, mobility, and health issues. Many elderly residents have reduced mobility. This can make it difficult for them to evacuate in the event of a fire. Additionally, some residents may have cognitive impairments. This makes it harder for them to understand and respond to care home fire safety instructions. Both residents and care home staff, who may be responsible for assisting residents during an evacuation are in danger. Both are equally at risk of injury or death in the event of a fire. Therefore, it is crucial that we prioritise care home fire safety to prevent such risks.
