Over our years of specialisation in the healthcare and care home
sectors we have amassed a mine of contacts and useful links, some of
which we reproduce here.
These links are in
sections. The first group are commercial organisations of whom we
have become aware in the course of our work that offer services to
the healthcare industry. The second section contains links to
various public authorities, charities regulatory bodies and the like
that carry substantial up to date research material and useful
guidance on care related regulatory issues. The third is a special
area for trade associations that represent Health and Social Care
sectors.

Searching
for the right type of nursing home can be a traumatic
experience. The quality of accommodation and care can vary
significantly between each home and exploring the various
options is often difficult. We understand that finding the
right placement for your loved one is not an easy task,
finding the right care can be a long and arduous process when
time is at a premium. Each featured nursing home has a
description, photographs and contact information enabling you
to get further information and finally arrive at an informed
decision.
