Choosing a nursing home in South Tyneside and what to check
What a nursing home provides
A nursing home offers accommodation and personal care in the same way a residential home does, but with registered nurses on duty at all times. That allows it to manage clinical needs such as complex wound care, tube feeding, unstable long term conditions and medicines that must be given by a nurse. It is the right setting when an assessment shows that help with washing, dressing and meals alone would no longer keep somebody safe. Homes vary in size and character even within a small borough, and the atmosphere that suits one person will not suit another.
Reading the inspection record
All eleven homes listed here are registered with the Care Quality Commission. Nine have been rated Good, one holds Requires Improvement, and one is not yet rated. Inspectors judge whether a home is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led, and in a nursing setting the safe judgement carries particular weight because it covers medicines, wound care, staffing levels and moving people safely. A home rated Good overall may still be weaker in the area that matters most to your relative, so read all five judgements, and check the date, since a home under new management can differ from the service last described.
What to ask and notice on a visit
Ask how many registered nurses are on duty by day and overnight, how often agency nurses cover shifts, and how the home works with district nurses and general practitioners. Watch how staff speak to residents who are not asking for anything, how quickly call bells are answered and whether people are up and occupied. Homes in this listing include settings such as Willowdene Care Home, Chichester Court Care Home, Deneside Court and The White House Nursing Home. Ask too what the home can manage if needs increase and whether it supports end of life care.
Arranging a place and paying for it in South Tyneside
The care needs assessment
A nursing placement should follow an assessment rather than a rushed search. It is free, open to anyone who appears to need care and support whatever their means, and it produces the written record of eligible needs that homes will work from. A practitioner from South Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council will consider personal care, mobility, nutrition, medication, mental wellbeing and the clinical support somebody needs day to day. If you have been caring for the person yourself, ask for a carer's assessment at the same time.
Fees, contributions and funded nursing care
A financial assessment of income and capital follows where needs are eligible. The council may then meet the fees in full, meet part of them with a contribution from the person moving in, or conclude that the placement is privately funded. Nursing fees sit higher than residential fees because of the qualified staff on the rota. Where someone has been assessed as needing care from a registered nurse, a contribution towards that element may be paid through funded nursing care, and a small number of people with substantial health needs have the full cost met by the health service. Ask each home for its weekly fee in writing, what it includes and what is billed separately.
