Arranging an assessment and funding nursing care in Halesowen
Getting the funding position settled early tends to make the rest of the process quicker rather than slower. A care needs assessment establishes whether nursing rather than residential care is required, costs nothing and can be requested by anyone. Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council carries out that assessment and the financial assessment that follows it, and where a hospital stay is involved the discharge team usually begins the process.
How the financial assessment works
Savings, income and, in a permanent placement, usually the value of a property are measured against the national capital thresholds. Capital above the upper threshold means fees are met privately. Below the lower threshold only income is counted, with a weekly personal allowance protected, and a deferred payment arrangement can postpone the sale of a house.
The NHS contributions worth claiming
Neither NHS route depends on means. NHS funded nursing care pays a fixed weekly amount towards the nursing element for every nursing home resident, and NHS continuing healthcare can fund an entire placement where the need is primarily clinical. Both sit outside the council means test, so raise them at the outset and ask each home what it already has in place for current residents.
Choosing between the nursing homes matching this search
Woodview House Nursing Home, Allenbrook Home (Halesowen)Ltd, Yew Tree Nursing Home and Gower Gardens Residential Care Home all hold a Good rating and all four are registered for nursing care. Start from the clinical reason for the move, because that is what the registration exists to deliver and what most distinguishes one of these homes from another.
Looking underneath a shared grade
Each rating covers whether a home is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led, and homes reach Good by quite different routes. A home strong on caring may still have had something flagged on staffing or record keeping, and the report says which. Check how recent each inspection is before weighing one against another.
What to establish on a visit
Ask how many registered nurses are rostered on each shift, overnight included, and who takes clinical decisions when the manager is off site. Ask about turnover in the nursing team, since continuity matters far more to a resident than the furnishings. Request the fee schedule in writing, and call in near a mealtime to see how residents needing help to eat are supported.
