Residential care homes
Residential or nursing homes provide 24 hour care when you are no longer able to manage at home.
Speak to us
You should contact us if you need more support and are thinking about moving into a care home:
- Request help with social care
- Call 030 33 33 3001
- Visit a Social Work office
We'll make a full assessment and normally try to assist you to remain at home. We can work with you to find the best solutions to meet your needs and provide advice if we agree together that staying at home isn't possible.
You can look at residential care yourself but will have to make arrangements and organise payment directly.
Choosing a care home
There are lots of things to consider when you're choosing a home such as location, contracts and fees, availability and accommodation. You should:
- visit care homes in your area
- check Care Inspectorate inspection reports
- speak to family, friends, your GP or health visitor
- contact us or other organisations for advice and information
We've produced some guidance to help:
If you've had an assessment from us then we'll be able to tell you what type of care you need. This information will help you to choose a care home that provides the right sort of service for you.
Paying for a care home
Care home fees in Dumfries and Galloway can range from £525 to £800 a week. All potential care home residents will be expected to pay towards their fees but financial support may be available depending on your individual circumstances.
If you are looking for support from us then we'll carry out a financial assessment to work out whether you're able to contribute to the cost of your care and support package as well as how much you need to contribute. The assessments look at a number of important elements, including:
- income (such as benefits and pensions)
- outgoings (such as mortgage, rent and council tax payments)
- capital (such as savings, bonds and stocks)
You'll need to pay the full cost of your care and support package if you're self-funding, come through us but don't want to provide financial information or have significant savings and investments.

All care homes are regularly inspected by the Care Inspectorate to make sure that they meet the national care standards. The inspection reports which show how the homes were graded are published so that you can find out what quality of care you can expect from a care home:
