Assessment and funding for a care home place in Hammersmith and Fulham
It helps to know what has been assessed as necessary, and what can be spent each week, before falling for a particular home. With only four homes registered locally, that clarity also tells you quickly whether the search needs to widen.
Requesting a care needs assessment
Anyone who appears to need care can ask for a care needs assessment, free of charge and whatever their savings. A social care professional looks at washing, dressing, eating, mobility, medication, safety and the strain on family carers, then records in writing what support is required. Contact the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham adult social care team to request one, or ask a hospital discharge team to refer someone who is on a ward. A family carer can ask for an assessment of their own needs at the same time.
How the funding is decided
A financial assessment compares income and capital with nationally set thresholds. Above the upper threshold a person usually pays their own fees, although council advice on choosing remains available. Below it the council contributes and agrees a personal budget for meeting the assessed needs, and a home charging above that budget generally calls for a third party contribution, which must be affordable for years rather than months. If nursing care is needed as well, a separate contribution towards it is paid by the National Health Service directly to the home.
Choosing between the four homes listed here
A short list makes thoroughness easy. Every report can be read in full, and every serious candidate seen more than once.
What the ratings show
Rivercourt Project Short Breaks holds an Outstanding rating, while homes including Richford Gate and Harwood Road are rated Good. A grade summarises one inspection on particular days, so check when it was awarded and read what sits beneath it. Pay attention to what the report says about staffing and about how residents were spoken to, since those details describe daily life more accurately than any summary word can.
What to look for on a visit
Arrange a proper look round, then call in again briefly at an hour you have not agreed in advance. Notice whether residents are up, dressed and greeted by name, and whether staff have time to stop and talk. Ask how many permanent carers are on duty overnight and how often agency workers cover shifts, and ask how long the manager has been in post. Ask what the fee covers and what is billed separately, and ask what would happen if your relative's needs increased.
