Which care homes are listed for Richmond upon Thames?

Thirty two residential care homes registered locally appear on this page. They include Cross Street Residential Care Home, Marling Court, St Mary's House, Homemead, Cambridge Park and The White House, alongside a number of smaller houses supporting only a few residents each. Every entry opens into a profile carrying the current Care Quality Commission rating and the inspection report behind it. Comparing a short list of those profiles is the fastest route to a decision.

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

A residential care home provides accommodation, meals and help with personal tasks such as washing, dressing and prompting medication, with care staff on duty at all hours but no nurses on site. A nursing home does everything a care home does and additionally employs registered nurses, allowing it to meet clinical needs such as complex wound care, catheter management and support through the final stages of an illness. Every provider on this page is registered as a residential care home. If nursing care looks likely to be needed, raise that during the care needs assessment.

What should we ask when we visit?

Ask how many staff are on duty during the day and overnight, how long the manager has been in post and what staff turnover has been across the past year. Ask how the home supports someone whose needs increase, and whether that might eventually mean moving elsewhere. Ask to see the current week's activities and a recent menu rather than a printed sample. Then ask exactly what the weekly fee includes and what is charged on top.

How do we arrange a care needs assessment?

Contact the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and ask for an adult social care needs assessment. It is free and entitlement does not depend on income or savings. An assessor will discuss daily routines, mobility, health conditions, medication and the risks someone currently faces, then record the findings as a care and support plan. A relative already providing unpaid care can request a separate carer assessment alongside it.

Can the council pay towards a care home place?

It may, where a financial assessment shows a person cannot meet the full cost from income and capital. For a permanent residential placement the value of a property is normally counted unless a partner or certain other relatives still live there. Because any contribution follows assessed need, the care needs assessment has to come first. If a family chooses a home above the agreed budget, a third party contribution is generally needed to bridge the gap.

How far ahead should we begin looking?

Earlier than most families manage. Looking while circumstances are stable allows more than one visit to each home, an unhurried read of the inspection reports and a decision made on suitability rather than on who has a room free. Beginning during a hospital discharge usually narrows the choice considerably. Starting the assessment early costs nothing and commits nobody to anything.

Choosing a care home in Richmond upon Thames and what to look for

When the ratings look alike

Grasmere Avenue holds the one Outstanding judgement in this listing, thirty homes are rated Good and one sits at Requires Improvement. A picture that uniform is encouraging but unhelpful as a sorting tool. Begin with the date of each inspection, since a judgement from several years ago may describe a home that has since changed hands or leadership. Then read the substance of the report: what was said about staffing levels, medicines management, how residents spend their days and how families are kept informed.

Size, setting and the kind of support offered

This listing spans conventional care homes alongside a number of much smaller houses supporting only a handful of people. The experience in each is quite different. A small house can feel domestic and familiar, with staff who know everyone closely, though with fewer people on duty at any moment. A larger home usually offers more cover and more activity, at some cost to intimacy. Work out which suits the person rather than which presents better.

What a visit is really for

Arrange to see homes such as Cecil Court, Deer Lodge, Nightingale House or Viera Gray House at a mealtime, when staff are under most pressure. Watch whether people needing help to eat are supported patiently, whether residents are dressed as they would have dressed at home, and whether anyone has been left with nothing to do. Ask how many staff are on overnight, how long the manager has been in post and what turnover has been. Then return at a different hour on another day.

Arranging care and working out the cost

The needs assessment

An assessment of need is free, open to anyone who appears to require care and support, and entirely separate from what someone has saved. It examines washing and dressing, mobility, memory, medication, nutrition and the risks a person faces where they live now, and produces a written care and support plan. Arrange one through the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames adult social care team, which is responsible for assessments and for agreeing any funded support that follows. Families intending to pay privately should still have one, since the plan sets out independently what a home must be able to deliver.

How much the council will meet

A financial assessment considers income, savings and capital. For a permanent residential placement the value of a property is normally included, unless a partner or certain other relatives continue to live in it. Depending on the outcome the council may cover part or all of the fees, or a person may fund themselves while contributing from pension income. Where the council funds a place it agrees a budget reflecting assessed need, and a home priced above that generally requires a third party contribution from a relative.

The fee questions that matter later

Ask what the weekly charge covers and what is invoiced separately, since hairdressing, chiropody, outings and escorted appointments are frequently extra. Ask how often fees are reviewed and what the last rise came to. Ask what the home does if a self funding resident's capital eventually runs down and council support becomes necessary, because that answer decides whether a further move could be forced years from now.
