Registered nurses on shift, 24/7
RGN-led teams on every shift. Clinical lead per home, plus deputy.
Nursing Care.
Registered nurses on every shift, around the clock — supporting complex clinical needs without compromising on the comforts of home.
In practice
Clinical care in a non-clinical setting.
Our nursing care is for those whose health needs require trained clinical oversight - wound care, complex medication regimes, continence support, chronic conditions, end-of-life support.
Our Registered General Nurses are on duty around the clock, and a clinical lead heads up each home’s nursing team. In addition, our GPs do weekly ward rounds, and specialist consultants can visit on referral.
This clinical work is done quietly, and residents have suites, not beds; meals, not trays; living rooms, not day rooms… so living at Aura is like living at home, not like being in a hospital.

Who it suits
Nursing care is right when…
Nursing care is right when someone needs ongoing help from a Registered Nurse, not just a trained carer. Often, this means a step up from residential care, sometimes after a hospital stay.
- 01 A long-term condition needs clinical monitoring (heart failure, COPD, advanced diabetes, Parkinson’s)
- 02 Hospital is discharging into care, not back home
- 03 A complex wound, stoma, catheter, or PEG needs nursing oversight
- 04 End-of-life care is the priority, in a non-hospital setting
- 05 You want clinical excellence without the institutional feel
Common questions
The questions families ask us most.
- Is nursing care covered by the NHS Funded Nursing Care contribution?
- Yes — most residents on the nursing pathway qualify for the NHS FNC weekly contribution. We help with the application.
- Can my GP continue to visit?
- Yes - In most cases, depending on practice catchment. Otherwise, residents can register with our local GP partner.
- Do you provide end-of-life care?
- Yes - and to a high standard. Aura is accredited by the UK Gold Standards Framework (GSF). GSF trains and accredits health and social care providers to deliver excellent, person-centred end-of-life care. Family members can also stay overnight, onsite, in one of our family suites.
- If I need extra care, can you provide this?
- Yes. We can provide increased care, but this could incur an additional cost. Our team will discuss this with you along with any fee increase.
