Choosing between the home care agencies covering Holmfirth
In home care the thing being compared is a timetable and the people who keep to it. Calls of fifteen minutes to an hour or more are arranged at set times to cover help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and getting in and out of bed. Ask how many different carers a person is likely to see across a fortnight, and bear in mind that rural rounds can stretch the timings.
Where the grades sit
The Care Collection and Alliance Community Home Care Ltd are each rated Good. Kayla Supported Living Ltd and 4 Care Services Limited have no published rating as yet. For home care the responsive and well led sections of a report matter most, since they describe how missed calls, complaints and rota changes are handled.
Questions this list makes necessary
Where an agency has no rating, ask when it registered, who the registered manager is and how long the care workers have been with it. Ask all four what happens when a carer rings in sick and how late a call can run before the family hears. Ask whether calls are logged electronically and whether relatives can see those records.
Arranging the assessment and funding the support
The assessment shapes both the package and what it costs, so it belongs before an agency is chosen rather than after. It is free, anyone may request it, and it sets out how many calls a day are needed and what each has to achieve. Kirklees Metropolitan Council is responsible for that assessment and for the financial assessment that follows it.
How the means test works for care at home
For support at home the value of the property being lived in is disregarded, which is the biggest single difference from a permanent care home placement. Savings and income are measured against the national capital thresholds, and a weekly amount is always protected for living costs. That is why many people pay part of the cost of their care rather than all of it.
Hourly rates and direct payments
Agencies charge by the hour, usually at a higher rate at weekends and on bank holidays, and short calls cost proportionately more than longer ones. Where the council funds a package it can be taken as a direct payment, which lets the family choose the agency themselves. Attendance allowance is not means tested and is often worth claiming first.
