We care for residents with a wide variety of needs, some live almost independently, while others need help and support with all aspects of their personal care.
Residential care is a type of long-term care we offer across all of our care homes, where residents live with us 24/7. They will be supported around the clock by highly trained staff who help manage medical conditions, offer physical care, provide nutritious meals, and facilitate social activities.
Whatever your personal requirements, we create tailored personal care plans for each resident to make sure they’re receiving the best care possible throughout their stay with us.
Our residential care homes offer a safe and comfortable setting day and night for every individual, and offer personalised care to support each person’s unique needs.
You and your loved ones can rest easy knowing that we have a team of professionally trained carers and staff on hand. Our team of dedicated staff will help manage health conditions, physical care, medications and any urgent situations which may arise.
Each of our residential homes has a qualified nurse as part of the team, which sets us apart from many other providers. This helps ensure quick and early invention and they offer nursing care alongside the visiting district nurses. In all the homes our staff are trained and experienced in end of life care and dementia care.
The activities teams work both individually and in groups to ensure rich, varied and relevant opportunities are on offer for residents. This might be enabling residents to continue a much loved interest such as gardening or baking, or try something new. Each home has close links with its local community and there are visiting musicians and performers, and weekly trips out during the warmer months.
There is no single “right time” to make the move into a care home, and it depends on everyone’s personal circumstances. Someone might consider residential care if:
Some people choose to move in while they still have capacity and independence, simply because they feel safer and value the community and support around them. If you’re considering making the move, we would encourage you to speak with our team for a friendly, informal conversation to explore your options.
Residential care is currently £1,800 per week across our homes. (Correct as of Feb 2026). This figure includes accommodation, meals, care, and access to the home’s facilities and activities.
We understand that funding care can feel very daunting at first glance. Our team is happy to talk you through what’s included and help you explore your options, and you can find out more about paying for care here.
Staffing levels are carefully managed in line with regulatory guidance and the needs of residents. Staffing flexes depending on occupancy and the level of care required at any given time. As a charity, we are able to offer a high staff-to-resident ratio than many other care providers in the local area. This means Lilian Faithfull residents benefit from more personalised attention, reassurance, and continuity of care.
Care homes are inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) with frequency based on their rating: “outstanding” homes are reviewed every 2.5 years, “good” every 2 years, “requires improvement” within 12 months, and “inadequate” within 6 months. New homes are usually inspected within 6–12 months of opening. Inspections are typically unannounced.
Activities are varied and tailored to individual interests based on the residents we have living with us in each home, and we’re always looking at developing new, unique activities to keep life in our homes exciting. These include:
Activities are person-centred. Some residents enjoy social group sessions, while others prefer quieter or more individual pursuits. The team works with each resident to understand their interests and build activities around them. Find out more about activities in our care homes today.
