What should we ask when visiting a care home in Haslemere?

Ask how many carers are on duty by day and overnight, how long the manager has been in post and how staff turnover is handled. Ask to see a sample care plan, the past fortnight of activities and the menu, then ask how choice is offered at mealtimes. Raise the harder subjects too, including how falls and complaints are dealt with and how families are told about changes. Close by asking what the weekly fee includes and what is billed separately.

What is the difference between a care home and a nursing home?

A residential care home provides help with daily living, including washing, dressing, meals, prompting with medication and company, from trained care staff. A nursing home holds a further registration so a qualified nurse is on the premises at all times, which suits wounds, feeding tubes, injections and unstable conditions. The homes on this page are registered for residential care. If nursing needs are likely to develop, mention it during the needs assessment.

Can Surrey County Council pay for a care home place?

It can contribute where the needs assessment shows residential care is required and the financial assessment shows capital below the national threshold. The council pays up to the rate it will meet and the resident contributes from income such as pensions. Above the threshold, the place is funded privately until savings fall to that level. Where a property is involved, ask about a deferred payment arrangement.

How do we arrange a care needs assessment in Haslemere?

Contact Surrey County Council and ask for an adult social care needs assessment for the person who needs help. An assessor will talk through daily routines, mobility, medication and safety at home, either on a visit or by telephone. The assessment is free and does not depend on income or savings. The written outcome is the document homes will want to read before they offer a place.

How early should we start looking for a place?

Where the move can be planned, allowing two or three months leaves room for the assessment, repeat visits and a funding decision. With three homes on the list, the room that suits someone may not be free in the week you want it. If the move follows a hospital stay the timetable is far shorter, so tell the ward team early what you are looking for. Looking before a crisis means choosing rather than taking what is left.

What Residential Care in Haslemere Involves and What to Look For

How a day is organised

Residential care comes down to how someone's day is organised and who notices when it goes wrong. Staff are trained carers rather than nurses, helping with washing, dressing, mobility, meals and medication, and providing the company that living alone often removes. Ask how care plans are written and reviewed, who a family should contact when something changes, and how the home responds if someone becomes frailer or develops dementia. Ask what the day actually looks like, from the time people choose to get up to what happens on a wet afternoon, and whether residents can keep their own routines.

Three matching ratings, read carefully

Haven House, Shottermill House and Redcot Residential Care Home all hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, so the reports are where the differences appear. One may be praised for the way care is planned, another for activities or for how families are kept involved, and the strength that matters 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 for something to be strengthened, ask what has changed since and what evidence supports it.

Getting an Assessment and Funding a Place

Asking for the assessment

Anyone who may need residential care can ask for an assessment of need, free of charge and whatever their savings. It records the help needed each day and becomes the written account homes read before offering a room. Requests go to Surrey County Council Adult Social Care, which also arranges the financial assessment that decides whether funded support applies. Where the move follows a hospital stay, ask for the discharge team to be involved early, because those timescales are much tighter than for a planned move.

Fees and what they include

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 hospital admissions. Where a property is involved, ask the council about a deferred payment arrangement before anything is signed.
