Categories
Care homes have to register the categories of care they provide. They can offer more than one category but have to show that they are providing enough appropriately qualified and experienced staff for each category.
Some homes specialise in care within a single category, others may provide care for a range of categories.
For each category the home will be registered for a maximum number of places - up to the maximum number of places the home is registered to provide overall.
For example: A home with 30 registered places may provide 20 places in the "Mental Disorder" category - and also provide 10 places in the "Physical Disability" category. This doesn't mean that they can take 30 residents - they can still only take 20 residents with a mental disorder but up to 10 of them can also have physical disabilities.
