MAIN BODY
Nursing homes are those organizations or entities which are providing different health
related services to their customers. These homes are having their great significance since in the
nation there are around 17600 care homes or nursing homes in UK. Nursing homes are
accounting around 30% of the total amount of care homes in UK. These are having their great
significance since majority of them are providing services to old age people are people who are
suffering form dementia or such type of severe disease (Gilissen, et al. 2020)
In the area of nursing home the responsibilities of such organizations becomes quite
bigger since they are serving those people who might have severe issues in term of their health
and a minute mistake or recklessness may lead to serious damages. Barchester Healthcare is one
of such organization which is engaged in nursing home services. The organization is having
around 17000 staff and there are approximately 250 care homes (Kinley, et al. 2018)
The role of Nursing homes is playing great role, they are providing full time care to
patients. It is becoming helpful for those people who are not having enough time to spend on
their close ones. They are looking for such services so can enshrine better health care. With this
regard, the role of such nursing homes become quite great. They are ensuring and providing the
best quality services.

Contrasting the above notion, there are some issues too. One of the biggest issue faced by
such patients is lack of emotional ambiance. Generally, in such nursing homes the business is
being carried out in traditional way but lack of proper emotional bond makes it lethal and bring
danger outcomes on the emotional state of such patient who are already experiencing bad and
bitter pills. Lack of healthy environment is another segment where these houses are having need
to work upon (Buchan, Seccombe and Smith, 2018)
There are some disease which are incurable or may be next to be incurable. Such patients
generally face the problem of exclusion. They are kicked out by the society and even face perils
such as character assassination. It not only hike their mental bother but at the same time may
become reason of moving towards suicide. The suicide rate in UK is 11.2 which shows that out
of 100000 population there are almost eleven people are loosing their life (Spacey, et al. 2018)
So it becomes essential to rip off that what are those drivers. It can be reduced with the help of
such home cares.
Besides, the positive argument shared above, it would not be unfair to conclude that these
nursing houses are providing better social care to patients. They are helping patients to have an
active social life. They would be able to have a well scheduled life, they would be given proper
treatment, health facilities, nurturing and calm environment etc. It is not possible for households
to provide same set of facilities.
But it is also seen that such nursing houses have been failed to fulfil this environment
related requirements of patients. They are not paying proper attention, poor behaviour of nurses,
poor ambiance, poor response time, low quality food etc. These all are affecting ability of such
houses to revert best set of services to the clients. The patients are not living with their families
so there is need to consider their personal desires, in order to take them out form mental trauma.
There has been number of occasion when people found home care as the best alternative
and it is helping them to do better in health care sector. In UK, with the development of time,
people are facing jeopardy of health concerns where such institution not only paves the way
forward but also surge the overall outcomes of health measures in a society.
Safety has been always a tough nut for nursing homes. They are less likely to abide
with all norms and some additional safety practises. It is seen that they generally do not use
Monitoring technology, Verification of medical procedures, Following basic hygienes,
