When someone you care about moves into a care home, it can stir up all kinds of feelings, relief that they’re safe and supported, guilt that you couldn’t "do it all" at home, sadness over the change, and even fear that you’ll grow apart. These emotions are completely normal.
From 22 July 2025, UK care providers will no longer be able to sponsor new overseas applicants for care worker or senior care worker roles under the Health and Care Worker visa. This government decision is a major shift that all CQC registered providers must respond to strategically.
As people age or face significant health challenges, one of the most difficult and emotionally charged decisions is whether they should move into a care home.

Understanding who decides and how the decision is made can help ease some of the stress and ensure the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
