What home care in Kingston upon Thames involves and what to look for

How support is usually built

Home care means help brought to somebody where they already live, arranged around the parts of the day that have become difficult. Most arrangements begin with a single morning call to assist with washing, dressing and medication, and then grow as circumstances change. Longer visits, evening calls to help someone settle for the night, overnight cover, live in support and companionship time that gives a family carer a genuine break are all available locally. Because the support travels to the person, familiar streets, neighbours and routines stay exactly where they are.

Using the inspection record

All forty seven agencies listed here are registered with the Care Quality Commission. Three have been rated Outstanding and thirty two Good, only one holds Requires Improvement, and eleven are not yet rated because they registered too recently to be inspected. Where a report exists, read what inspectors found about the punctuality of calls, how medicines were administered and recorded, what training carers received and how the registered manager dealt with concerns. Check the date as well, since a service can change between inspections. An unrated agency has not been inspected rather than been criticised, so ask how long it has traded and who leads it.

Questions that reveal daily reliability

Ask how many different carers are likely to attend over a fortnight and whether a small consistent team is kept for each person. Find out how you would be told when a visit is running late, who answers the telephone at weekends and how complaints are recorded and resolved. Ask to see a blank care plan and check how quickly it can be rewritten after a hospital stay. Providers here such as Guardian Angel Carers, SureCare Richmond and Kingston and Comfort Care At Home work in different ways, so put the same questions to each.

Getting an assessment and arranging funding in Kingston upon Thames

The care needs assessment

Anyone who appears to need care and support can request a free care needs assessment, whatever their income or savings. A practitioner from the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames will discuss washing, dressing, eating, taking medication, moving safely indoors and staying connected with other people, then record which needs are eligible for support. Anyone providing regular unpaid help has a separate right to a carer's assessment, so ask for both together. The written record is useful even where a family intends to pay privately.

Who pays for what

Where needs are eligible, a financial assessment considers income and capital. Care may then be funded in full, funded in part with a contribution from the person receiving it, or paid for privately. Families who qualify can request a direct payment and commission their own agency rather than accept one arranged for them. Privately funded home care across London is normally charged by the hour, with higher rates at weekends, on bank holidays and for short calls, while live in support is quoted weekly. Ask each agency to confirm rates, minimum visit lengths and notice periods in writing.
