What residential care in Redhill involves and what to look for

A care home provides a permanent room, meals and help with the everyday tasks that have become difficult, from washing and dressing to medication and moving safely about the building. Staff are on duty through the night, although the support given is personal rather than clinical.

Telling strong homes apart

Cavendish, Holkham House and Martham House are all rated Outstanding. Ten homes hold a Good rating, among them Cedarwood Lodge (Active Prospects), The Pines (Active Prospects), Redstone House, Greensand House and Fircroft Home, and one is marked Requires Improvement. Where the field is this strong, the rating alone will not choose for you. The report will, because it names what inspectors singled out, which of the five key questions the judgement rested on, and when the visit took place.

Matching a home to the person

Homes differ less in what they do than in how the day feels, and no inspection summary captures that. Somewhere everyone eats together at set times suits one person and unsettles another. Ask what a typical day looks like, how much say residents have over when they rise and what they do, and how the home supports someone living with dementia.

What a visit should tell you

Go when the home is busy rather than at its quietest, and return unannounced if you can. Watch whether staff speak with residents or merely about them, whether people are occupied, and how long a call bell sounds before anyone comes. Ask how long the manager has been in post and how much agency cover is used, since stability shows up everywhere else.

Getting an assessment and arranging the funding

Needs and means are assessed through separate processes, and both take time, so both are better started early.

The care needs assessment

Any adult who appears to need care and support has a right to an assessment, free of charge and whatever their savings. Surrey County Council social care team is responsible for carrying it out and for the financial assessment that follows where funded support may apply. Anyone providing unpaid care has a separate right to a carer assessment. The support plan produced at the end describes the level of care considered necessary, and homes will ask to see it.

How the fee is met

The financial assessment examines income and capital, and in most permanent placements the value of a property is included once the relevant disregards have been applied. Where the council contributes, it pays up to its own rate, so a home charging more will usually need a top up from a relative or another third party. If the need is mainly clinical, ask whether continuing healthcare funding has been assessed, as that is decided through the health service.

Fees and extras

Weekly rates vary with the room and the level of support required. Ask for the figure in writing and establish what sits outside it, since hairdressing, chiropody, escorted appointments and some activities are commonly charged separately. Ask what notice is given before a fee rises and what happens if assessed needs increase.
