I've been tasked with finding a care home for my elderly relative.
They will be self-funding (at least for a few years).
They are frail and have a diagnosis of dementia (need prompting for everything but very amiable).
My sister seems to think we need to find a home which is a nursing home as well as a care home.
I'm not sure why and it cuts down a lot of choice of homes as most seem to be care home only (obviously I'm only looking at homes which take elderly and dementia residents).
Can someone please explain why I should only consider ones with nursing as well?
My relative has no other health issues.
