Arranging and Funding a Care Home Place in Edenbridge

Having the assessment already done

Few things speed a placement up like having the assessment already in hand. An assessment of need is free, open to anyone who may require residential care, and it records the help needed across an ordinary day, from washing and dressing to medication and meals. Ask Kent County Council Adult Social Care to carry it out and to arrange the financial assessment that follows, which decides whether funded support applies. Homes will want to read the written outcome before offering a room, so it is worth requesting early even where funding looks unlikely.

Fees and the terms to settle

Fees are quoted as a weekly figure covering the room, meals, laundry and personal care, with hairdressing, chiropody and outings normally charged separately. Where capital falls below the national threshold, the council may contribute once its financial assessment is complete, and above it the place is funded privately. Ask every home for its fees in writing, together with the policy on annual increases, notice periods and what happens during a hospital admission. Where a property is involved, ask the council about a deferred payment arrangement before anything is signed.

Choosing the Right Home in Edenbridge and What to Look For

Three Good reports, read side by side

Edenbridge Manor Care Home, Falconer's Court and HF Trust - Phillippines Close all hold a Good rating, so the reports are where the differences show. One may be praised for the way care is planned, another for activities or for how families are kept involved, and the strength that counts depends on the person moving in. Check the date of each inspection, because a judgement can be a few years old and managers move on. Where inspectors asked a provider to strengthen something, ask what has changed since and what evidence supports it.

What to look for on a visit

Ask how many carers are on duty by day and overnight, how long the manager has been in post and how vacancies and sickness are covered. Ask to see a sample care plan, the recent activity programme and the menu, then ask how choice is offered at mealtimes and what happens if someone prefers to eat in their room. Notice whether residents are occupied or simply seated, and whether staff greet people by name as they pass. Visit twice if you can, once by arrangement and once at a quieter hour.
