Choosing between the residential care homes listed for Newcastle

Fifty eight homes is a lot to weigh up, and the instinct is to start with photographs. A more useful order is registration first, then location, then what inspectors found, and only after that the question of whether a place feels right.

Registration and whether a home can meet the need

Each home is registered with the Care Quality Commission for particular categories of care, and that registration is the plainest indication of whether it can look after your relative properly. Someone with advancing memory problems, or who needs two carers to move safely, will not be suited by every home on this list however welcoming it appears. Check the registration on the profile before arranging anything, and be honest with the manager about what the daily reality is at home now.

Reading past the rating

Three homes here hold an Outstanding rating and forty six are rated Good. Six sit at Requires Improvement, one is rated Inadequate and two have no rating yet. A single word cannot carry the weight families put on it, so open the report and read what inspectors wrote about whether the home is safe, caring and well led. Check how recent the visit was, since a home can improve or slip a good deal in eighteen months. Where concerns were raised, ask the manager what changed afterwards and look for a specific answer rather than reassurance.

Judging a home in person

Visit in the middle of the day rather than at a quiet hour, and stay on once the tour ends. Watch whether staff speak to residents by name and at eye level, whether people look comfortable and properly dressed, and whether anyone appears to be enjoying themselves. Ask how many carers are on duty overnight, how long the manager has been there, what turnover has been like and how the home handles a resident becoming unwell at night. Then go back at a different time of day before deciding.

Arranging an assessment and settling how care is paid for

Behind every move into residential care sits an administrative process that takes longer than families expect, which is the best reason to begin it early rather than at the point of crisis.

The care needs assessment

An assessment of care and support needs is free and open to any adult who appears to need help, whatever their savings. Request one from Staffordshire County Council Adult Social Care, the authority responsible for assessments and funded support in this area. A practitioner will consider personal care, mobility, memory, medication, eating and drinking and how safe the current home has become, then set out in writing the support they have identified. Family carers can request a separate assessment of their own needs at the same time.

Fees and financial support

A financial assessment measures income, savings and capital against thresholds fixed nationally and determines whether the authority contributes towards fees. Weekly charges differ between homes according to the level of support required and the room chosen. Always ask for the fee schedule in writing, and establish what falls outside it, since hairdressing, chiropody, escorted appointments and outings are usually billed separately. Ask as well how fees are reviewed and what notice you would be given of an increase.
