How do I choose a care home in Antrim and Newtownabbey?
Start with the help the person needs now and might need later, and shortlist a few services near the people who will visit.

Ask what is included in the fees and what happens if needs change. This is general information, not advice.
Who pays for care in Antrim and Newtownabbey?
It depends on the person’s needs and finances. Some people pay for all of their own care, some get help from their council, and the NHS pays for some health care.

Choosing care homes
A care home is a place to live where staff help with things like washing, dressing, eating and taking medicines, day and night. Care homes without nursing do not have a nurse on duty.
Things to check
- Visit more than once, at different times of day, and ask to see where meals are served.
- Ask how many staff are on duty at night, and how often agency staff are used.
- Ask what is included in the weekly fee and what costs extra, and how often fees can change.
- Read the latest RQIA report, not only the rating, and ask the manager about anything it raises.
Whoever ends up paying, you can ask your local Health and Social Care Trust for an assessment of what help you need. Our guide explains what to expect and what to ask.
