Choosing between the home care agencies covering Worcester Park
With care at home, what you are comparing 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, and whether they land when they should is the measure that matters most. Ask how many different carers a person is likely to see across a fortnight.
Where the grades sit
Trinity Homecare holds an Outstanding rating, the highest the regulator awards and an uncommon one in this part of the sector. Expert Care Solutions – Worcester Park and Blossom Home Care London Borough of Sutton are each rated Good. Park House has no published rating as yet, so the questions have to do the work there instead of the report.
Questions to ask before signing
Ask what the agency does when a carer rings in sick, and how late a visit can run before the family is told. Ask whether calls are logged electronically and whether relatives can see those records. Check the minimum call length, the notice period and whether the rate rises at weekends and on bank holidays.
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. London Borough of Sutton 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 single biggest 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 only 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.
