How do I arrange a care needs assessment in South Gloucestershire?

Contact the adult social care team at South Gloucestershire Council and ask for a care needs assessment, which anyone who appears to need support may request regardless of income. A practitioner will look at what your relative can manage safely at home and what help would make a difference. A financial assessment then determines whether the council will contribute towards the cost. Ask early, because assessments take time to arrange and the written outcome is useful when briefing an agency.

Can South Gloucestershire Council pay for care at home?

South Gloucestershire Council can fund all or part of a package of care at home once a care needs assessment and a financial assessment have been completed. What it pays depends on the level of assessed need and on income and capital, with national thresholds applied to savings. Where support is funded the council pays up to the amount it considers appropriate for those needs. Some families take a direct payment instead and commission the agency themselves.

Which home care agencies in South Gloucestershire are listed here?

Seventy eight providers registered with the Care Quality Commission to deliver care in South Gloucestershire appear on this page. They support people in their own homes with help such as washing and dressing, medication, meals, shopping and company. You can compare them by rating and open any profile to read the inspection report where one has been published. Coverage varies across the area, so approach more than one agency about the hours you need.

What is the difference between a care home and a nursing home?

A care home provides accommodation, meals and personal care from a trained staff team, with community nursing called in when clinical needs arise. A nursing home is registered to have a qualified nurse on duty at all times and suits someone with continuing medical needs. Care at home is the alternative to both and often delays the point at which a move becomes necessary. Where needs are rising, comparing all three together usually leads to a better decision.

How far ahead should we start looking?

Start before matters become urgent, because the busiest calls of the day are the hardest for any agency to fill. Early mornings and teatime tend to be the pinch points, so a few weeks of notice improves the chances of getting the hours you want. If a hospital discharge is driving the timing you may have only days, so ask the hospital social work team for help and treat the first package as provisional. Put a review in the diary for a month after care starts.

What should we ask an agency before care begins?

Ask who the registered manager is, how long they have been in post and who answers the telephone outside office hours. Find out how absence is covered and how families are told when a visit will be late. Ask to see a sample care plan and how often it is reviewed. Where the agency has been inspected, ask what the report found and what has changed since.
