A Care Home is an ORGANISATION SITE.

A Care Home is a place where personal care SERVICES  and accommodation are provided together.

PEOPLE  may live in a Care Home  for short or long periods. For many PEOPLE, it is their sole place of residence and so it becomes their home, although they do not legally own or rent it. Both the care that PEOPLE receive and the premises are regulated by the  Care Quality Commission  (CQC).

There are two types of Care Homes:
