Continuing care is care that is provided for people who have
significant health needs and require significant health care
services over a long period of time or are during the last stages
of a terminal illness.
Continuing care can be provided in a hospital, but more often is
provided in a nursing home. On occasions it can be provided in a
person’s own home. Adult Social Care is committed to
helping maintain service users in their homes for as long as
possible, and in association with our NHS partners, will endeavour
to provide help, care and support.
