Arranging and Funding Nursing Care in Lewisham
The assessment that comes first
An assessment establishes whether nursing care is genuinely needed and what should be funded, so it belongs ahead of any tour of homes. London Borough of Lewisham Adult Social Care carries it out and decides what support follows from it. The assessment is free, it is not means tested, and a relative, friend or advocate may request one where the person cannot. The assessor looks at mobility, medication, continence, nutrition, memory and supervision at night before writing the support plan.
Contributions and means testing
Capital and income are examined next to fix the weekly payment. Where savings exceed the national upper capital limit the placement is normally funded privately, and where they fall below it the authority contributes towards an agreed rate. Nursing placements may also attract the NHS funded nursing care payment, which covers the registered nursing element of the fee and goes directly to the provider. Where a health condition dominates the picture, ask for an assessment for NHS continuing healthcare.
What drives the weekly figure
Fees reflect the room, the nursing time a resident needs and the staffing a home chooses to run, and in this part of London they vary a good deal. Ask for the figure in writing for the actual room, together with anything billed separately, the notice period and how often charges are reviewed.
Choosing the Right Nursing Home in Lewisham
What identical grades leave unanswered
Peartree Care Home, Alexander Care Centre, Westwood House, Manley Court Care Home, Brymore House Care Home with Nursing, Brownhill Lodge, Beechcroft Care Home and the registered home at Lewisham Park all hold Good ratings. With the grades matched, read the reports rather than the headline, paying attention to the safety and leadership sections and to how recently each inspection took place.
Questions that draw out the difference
Ask how many registered nurses are on duty by day and overnight, how the home covers sickness and how long the manager has been in post. Ask who decides to call an ambulance when someone deteriorates in the early hours and how soon relatives are told. Ask too how the home accommodates different diets, languages and religious observance.
Making the visit count
Visit at a busy hour rather than a quiet one, and go twice where the decision is close. Notice whether residents look occupied, whether call bells are answered without irritation and whether staff use people's names in passing. Compare what you saw with what the report described, and raise any discrepancy directly with the manager.
