Supporting Bariatric Individuals

FAO: S Glos Nursing home providers

The Council is now sourcing more nursing placements for Bariatric individuals, unfortunately,  as we do not currently hold a list of homes who can support the needs of bariatric individuals, the Brokerage team may be calling nursing homes to source a placement when the home does not offer provide support of this nature. 

Therefore, please can you confirm if your nursing home is able to support individuals who fall within the definition of bariatric, and if so, are there any restrictions on the level of bariatric support you can provide.

Please can you respond to SGCcarehomecommunication@southglos.gov.uk by 13/02/2026.

Please also find attached Bariatric document containing further information.
