Choosing between the nursing homes in Wembley
With five providers to consider, the work is manageable, and the aim is to find the home that fits one particular person rather than the one that looks best on paper. Nursing registration means a qualified nurse is on duty at every hour, which is the point of difference from residential care and the reason these homes cost more.
What the ratings show
Four of the five are rated Good, namely Kenbrook, Middlesex Manor Care Home, Ogilvy Court and Coplands Nursing Home. Brook House Care Home currently requires improvement, and that is a prompt to read the inspection report rather than to cross it off, since inspectors normally identify specific issues and give a home time to put them right. Ask its manager what has changed since the visit and what evidence backs that up. Check the date on every report as well, because a home can alter considerably after a change of leadership.
Testing whether the home can meet the need
Write down what the person needs on a bad day, not an average one, and put that list to each home. Ask how many registered nurses cover a day shift and a night shift, how absence is filled, and whether agency staff know the residents. Ask whether the home can care for someone to the end of life, how it works with the district nursing team and local GPs, and what would prompt a move to hospital. Visit at a mealtime, watch how staff speak to residents who cannot easily answer back, and return a second time at a different hour before deciding.
Arranging a place and meeting the cost
The assessment that comes first
Anyone who appears to need care and support is entitled to a free assessment of their needs, whatever their savings, and it is the document that confirms nursing care is warranted. London Borough of Brent Adult Social Care is the authority responsible for carrying out that assessment for people living in Wembley, and for the financial assessment that decides who pays what. Ask for the written outcome, as homes will want to see it. A relative providing regular unpaid support can request a carer assessment of their own alongside it.
Fees and the help available
Nursing fees sit above residential ones because of the registered staffing, and rates across London run higher than the national picture. Where capital falls below the national threshold, the local authority may meet part of the fee while the resident contributes an assessed amount from income. The NHS also pays a weekly sum called funded nursing care straight to the home for anyone needing registered nursing, whoever pays the balance. Where health needs are the main reason for the move, ask about NHS continuing healthcare, which covers the full cost when the criteria are met.
