Choosing a nursing home in Evesham
What the spread of ratings means
The four homes on this page have not been judged alike, and the differences are worth understanding before any shortlist is drawn up. The Hawthorns (Evesham) holds an Outstanding rating, which inspectors award only where performance goes well beyond the expected standard. Cavendish Park and Austen Court Care Home are both rated Good. Richmond Village Wood Norton is rated Requires Improvement, which is not in itself a reason to rule a home out, though it does mean reading the report to see which of the five inspection areas fell short and whether the concerns were about care or about record keeping.
Looking past the rating
Ratings age, so check how recently each home was inspected and whether the management has changed since. Beyond that, the questions that decide matters are practical. Can the home meet the specific clinical need involved, and will it confirm that in writing? How near is it to the people who will visit regularly, since frequent visitors are among the strongest safeguards a resident has? What proportion of the nursing team is permanent rather than agency, and how does the home cover sickness at short notice?
Arranging and funding nursing care in Evesham
Asking for a care needs assessment
An assessment of needs is free, open to anyone who appears to need care whatever their savings, and it produces a written record that any home will find useful. Worcestershire County Council Adult Social Care carries it out, looking at health, mobility, medication and daily routine. Where eligible needs are identified, a financial assessment follows and works out how much of the weekly fee public funding will meet and how much the resident contributes from income and capital.
Putting the fees in context
Nursing placements cost more than residential ones because registered nurses must be on duty at all hours. Part of that difference may be met by NHS funded nursing care, a contribution paid straight to the home for residents with an assessed nursing need, and a small number of people with substantial clinical needs qualify for NHS continuing healthcare, which covers the whole fee. Ask each home for a written schedule separating the core weekly charge from extras such as hairdressing, chiropody and trips out, and ask what notice is given before fees rise.
