How is a care needs assessment arranged in the East Midlands?

Contact the adult social care team at the local authority covering the address where your relative lives and ask for a care needs assessment. Anyone who appears to need support is entitled to one regardless of income or savings, and you can make the request on a relative's behalf. A practitioner will look at daily tasks, mobility, medication and safety before setting out what support would meet the need. A financial assessment follows separately to establish who pays.

Will the local authority contribute towards home care?

It may, depending on the results of the needs assessment and the financial assessment taken together. The local authority applies the national means test, so capital above the upper threshold means funding care privately, while capital below it can bring a contribution. Where care is funded, a direct payment is often available so that you can choose the agency rather than accept an arranged service. Attendance allowance sits outside the means test and can be claimed alongside any of these arrangements.

Which agencies deliver home care across the East Midlands?

One thousand four hundred and twenty one agencies registered to provide care in people's own homes are listed for the East Midlands. They include national providers running local branches as well as small independent agencies covering only a few towns. Coverage is the first thing to check, since registration in the region does not guarantee that an agency's rounds reach a particular address. Every entry links to a profile showing the Care Quality Commission rating and the findings behind it.

How does home care compare with moving into a residential or nursing home?

Home care brings a carer to the door for planned visits while your relative stays in their own house with their routine and possessions intact. A residential home provides accommodation with support available through the day and night, and a nursing home adds registered nurses on site for clinical needs. Home care works well where support is needed at predictable points in the day and can be increased gradually. Where someone needs supervision around the clock, a residential setting is usually more realistic.

How early should a family start looking for an agency?

A few weeks generally allows enough time to compare agencies, arrange an assessment and let a package begin gently rather than all at once. Starting early also leaves room to trial a small number of visits and build from there as needs become clearer. Where care is needed on discharge from hospital the timescale shortens to days, and a temporary package may be arranged for you. Nothing about that first arrangement is permanent, so treat it as a starting point rather than a final decision.

What should I ask an agency before agreeing to a care package?

Ask how many different carers will come in a typical fortnight and whether the same people return, because continuity affects the experience more than any other factor. Ask how late or missed calls are handled and whether the family is notified at the time. Ask how visits are logged, whether relatives can see the records, and how medication is documented. Ask about minimum call lengths, notice periods and any charges for travel or bank holidays, and ask for the answers in writing.
