Arranging and funding a care home place in Worcester Park
Sorting out the practical and financial side early tends to make everything that follows simpler. Needs come first, finances second, and only then does it make sense to compare homes in earnest.
Asking for a care needs assessment
Anyone who appears to need care and support may request an assessment, whatever their income or savings. A practitioner considers daily living, mobility, health and risk, then sets out in writing the support that is required. These assessments are carried out by London Borough of Sutton, which is also responsible for arranging funded support where a person qualifies. The written outcome is worth having even when a family fully expects to pay privately.
Where help with fees may apply
A financial assessment follows, taking account of capital, income and property. Should savings fall below the national threshold, the authority may contribute towards the weekly fee. Where registered nursing is required, a separate contribution from the NHS can also apply. Assessments can be revisited if needs grow or capital reduces.
Working out what it will cost
Fees differ by home and by how much support someone needs, so ask each provider for a written breakdown showing exactly what the weekly charge covers and what is billed on top. Items such as hairdressing, chiropody and trips out are frequently charged separately. Ask how often fees are reviewed as well.
Choosing a care home in Worcester Park and what to check
Three residential care homes serve this search: Albert Residential Home, Ashlong Cottage and Ashington House. All are registered for accommodation and personal care rather than nursing on site, which is worth weighing against how needs may develop over time.
Looking past the headline rating
Each of the three holds a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, meaning inspectors found the home meeting the standards expected of it. The substance, though, is in the report itself. Read what was said about staffing levels, about how residents are supported when unwell or unsettled, and about the way the home is led. Note the inspection date too, since a home can alter considerably between visits.
Forming your own view
Visit more than once and at different hours, taking in a mealtime if you can. Notice whether residents look settled and occupied, how staff speak to people needing help, and whether the building is easy to move around. Ask about staffing overnight, how care plans are reviewed, and how families are kept informed.
