Arranging care in Middlesbrough and understanding the cost

How a placement will be paid for shapes which homes are realistic, so it is worth resolving before a family settles on somewhere in particular.

The care needs assessment

Anyone who appears to need care and support is entitled to an assessment, whatever their income or savings, and asking early is sensible even where a family expects to pay privately. It covers washing, dressing, meals, mobility, medication, safety around the house and the support relatives are already providing, and it produces a written record of what is needed. Requests are made to Middlesbrough Council, which is responsible for adult social care assessments and for arranging funded support in the town. A relative caring unpaid can ask for a carer's assessment of their own needs at the same time.

Means testing, fees and the small print

A financial assessment follows the needs assessment, taking in income, savings and, where the move is permanent, the value of a property in most circumstances. Above the capital threshold a resident pays their own fees, and below it the council contributes according to the assessment. Each home sets its own charges rather than following a single rate, so fees vary with the room, the level of support and whether nursing input is part of the arrangement. Ask for the weekly fee in writing along with everything billed on top, since hairdressing, chiropody and outings are usually separate, and ask how much notice is given before an increase. Where a family chooses a home costing more than the council will fund, a third party top up may be required, and it cannot come from the resident's own money.

Choosing the right home and what to look for

Getting more from the inspection reports

The Care Quality Commission judges each home on five questions, asking whether it is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led, and the overall rating is a summary of those judgements. With twenty eight homes rated Good, the separate scores behind that word are what will actually distinguish one from another, and the date of the inspection matters as much as its conclusion. Four homes have no rating yet, which usually reflects recent registration rather than any difficulty, though it does leave less published evidence to weigh.

The visit and what to watch for

Ask how many care staff are on duty overnight and at weekends, and how much the home relies on agency cover. Ask how long the registered manager has been in post and how much of the care team has changed over the past year. Find out whether the home could keep supporting someone as their needs increase, or whether that would eventually mean another move. Visit twice if you can, with one visit around a mealtime, and watch how staff speak with residents who are not part of your tour.
