Arranging a placement and working out who pays in Sutton

Two questions decide most of what follows: whether a residential placement is the right answer at all, and how it will be funded. Both are settled through assessments rather than guesswork, and both are easier to face before a particular home has captured anyone's affection.

Asking for a care needs assessment

Anyone who appears to need care and support can request an assessment free of charge, whatever their savings and whatever they expect to be told. The adult social care team at the London Borough of Sutton is responsible for carrying it out, along with the financial assessment that follows. The care assessment records what help is needed with washing, dressing, medication, mobility and night time support, and whether those needs can still be met in someone's own home. Only once that is written down does a residential placement become a properly informed choice rather than a reaction to a crisis.

How funding is decided

The financial assessment examines income and capital against the national threshold. Above it, households generally meet the fee themselves; below it, the council contributes on a sliding basis. How a property is treated depends on who else lives there, so raise that point during the assessment rather than assuming the worst. Separately, funded nursing care and continuing healthcare are decided by the health service, and it is worth asking whether either might apply.

Understanding what a weekly fee includes

A quoted fee normally covers the room, meals and personal care, but the boundaries differ from home to home. Ask in writing which of hairdressing, chiropody, escorted medical appointments, outings and newspapers fall outside it. Ask how often fees are reviewed and what the increases have looked like recently. Ask too what the home does if a resident's savings fall to the threshold partway through a stay, because the answer varies and it matters.

Choosing between care homes in Sutton

Making the ratings work harder

When forty one homes share a Good rating, the rating alone cannot build a shortlist. Open the reports and compare what inspectors said about staffing, about how the home responds when something goes wrong, and about whether residents were involved in decisions. Check the inspection date, because a home under new management may bear little resemblance to the one described. Where a home sits at Requires Improvement, read what was actually found before ruling it out.

What to look for once you are inside

Visit at an ordinary hour rather than by appointment alone, and stay through a mealtime, which reveals more about a home than any brochure or tour ever will. Watch whether staff talk with residents in passing rather than only while completing a task, and whether people who cannot easily call for help are still being noticed. Ask about staff turnover over the past year and how many agency staff cover nights. Ask what happens if needs increase, and whether that would mean moving on to somewhere registered for nursing. Ask, finally, how the home keeps families informed between visits, because the households who feel best about a placement are usually the ones who hear something before they have to ring and ask.
