How do I move someone from one care home to another?

Moving someone to a different care home is possible. If self-funding, give notice in line with the contract and arrange the move directly. If council-funded, request a review of the care plan and express a preference for a different home — the council must consider this. Valid reasons for a move include concerns about care quality, a change in care needs, or the home closing. Moving someone with advanced dementia requires careful planning to minimise distress. The new home should have the full care plan and medical records before the person arrives — not after.
