Planning and paying for nursing care in Wallsend

Of all the ways care gets paid for, nursing placements are the most expensive, so the funding questions repay being asked at the start. A care needs assessment establishes whether nursing rather than residential care is required, costs nothing and can be requested by anyone. North Tyneside 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 a provider and what to check before committing

Charlton Court and Croft Dene Care Home are each rated Good. Eastside Gardens and Windsor Court Care Home currently hold ratings of Requires Improvement. Start from the clinical reason for the move, because that is what a nursing registration exists to deliver, then read all four reports rather than only the two that look promising.

Reading a lower grade fairly

A rating reflects one inspection on one set of dates and covers five separate areas. A shortfall in record keeping is a different matter from a shortfall in how residents are treated, and the report says plainly which it was. Ask each manager what has changed since, ask to see any action plan and ask when reinspection is expected.

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 unstable staffing often sits behind weaker findings. Request the fee schedule in writing, and call in near a mealtime to see how residents needing help to eat are supported.
