Arranging nursing care in Stoke-on-Trent and working out who pays

The care needs assessment

A nursing placement should follow an assessment rather than a hurried search. The care needs assessment 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 Stoke-on-Trent City Council will consider personal care, mobility, nutrition, medication, mental wellbeing and the clinical support somebody needs day to day. Where nursing tasks form part of the picture the assessment should say so plainly, since that determines whether a residential home could meet the need at all.

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 homes charge more than residential homes because of the registered nursing staff on the rota, and weekly fees vary considerably between homes. 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 current weekly fee in writing, what it includes and what is charged separately.

Choosing a nursing home in Stoke-on-Trent and what to check

Reading the inspection report carefully

All twenty four homes listed here are registered with the Care Quality Commission. Eleven have been rated Good, eight hold Requires Improvement, and five are not yet rated. Because so many homes sit below Good, the report itself deserves proper attention rather than a glance at the rating. Inspectors judge whether a home is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led, and in a nursing setting the safe judgement covering medicines, wound care, staffing levels and moving people safely carries particular weight. Check the inspection date as well, since a home under new management may already have addressed what was found.

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 Newford Nursing Home, Goldenhill Nursing Home, Richmond Mews and Lake View Nursing Home, and they feel very different once you are inside.

Thinking further ahead

Ask what the home can manage if needs increase, whether it supports end of life care and how families are involved in those decisions. Confirm the arrangements for hospital appointments, whether a room takes familiar furniture and how visiting works for relatives who are at work during the day.
