How do I arrange a care needs assessment in Leigh?

Contact Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council and request an adult social care needs assessment, which the person themselves, a relative or a professional such as a district nurse may all ask for. There is no charge and no savings threshold to meet before one is carried out. A practitioner will discuss washing, dressing, mobility, medication, eating and safety at home, and will establish whether registered nursing is needed. If a hospital discharge is imminent, say so when you make contact, because it affects how quickly the assessment is arranged.

Can Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council help pay the fees?

It can, where the needs assessment concludes that a residential placement is the appropriate way to meet the person's needs. A financial assessment of income and capital then determines what they contribute towards the weekly fee and whether public funds cover any of the balance. Some people are funded in full, others pay part and others meet the whole cost themselves. Where a house is owned but not easily sold, ask Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council about a deferred payment agreement.

Which care homes in Leigh are on this list?

Forty two residential care homes registered with the Care Quality Commission match this search, and each has a profile you can open from this page. One holds Outstanding, thirty two are rated Good, four Requires Improvement, one Inadequate and four have yet to be rated. Vacancies change from week to week, so a home listed here may have nothing free when you telephone. The inspection history sits on each profile, so the comparing can be done before you start ringing round.

What separates a care home from a nursing home?

Every provider on this page is registered as a residential care home, which covers personal care such as help with washing, dressing, medication and meals. A nursing home carries an extra registration and keeps registered nurses on duty, which is what someone needs for wound care, injections, a feeding tube or clinical observation overnight. Where an assessment identifies a nursing need, a residential home will normally be unable to accept the placement. Settling which registration applies before you begin visiting saves a good deal of wasted effort.

How far ahead should families start looking?

Start earlier than instinct suggests, because the needs assessment, the financial assessment and any funding decision each take time before a placement can be confirmed. Well regarded homes tend to keep waiting lists, and rooms available at short notice are not always in the homes you would have picked. When a hospital discharge sets the timetable, families are frequently given only days to decide. With a list of this size, seeing four or five homes in advance is realistic and makes a sudden decision far less daunting.

What should I ask when I visit?

Ask about staffing during the day and overnight, how much agency cover the home uses in a typical week, and how long the senior carers have been in post. Ask how medicines are managed, how often care plans are reviewed and who a relative should approach when something goes wrong. Ask to see the most recent inspection report and then ask the manager what has changed since it was written. Arrange to be there at a mealtime, because half an hour in the dining room shows you more than a guided tour will.

Arranging care in Leigh and settling how it is paid for

The care needs assessment

Before a shortlist is worth building, it helps to know what level of care is actually required. Anyone who appears to need care and support has a right to an assessment, and it is carried out by Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council Adult Social Care as the authority responsible for assessing need and agreeing funded support. It is free, does not depend on savings, and can be requested by the person concerned, a relative or a professional such as a general practitioner. A practitioner will work through washing, dressing, mobility, medication, eating and safety, and will establish whether personal care in a residential setting is sufficient or whether registered nursing is required. That conclusion narrows the search considerably.

Fees, contributions and what is charged separately

Funding runs on its own track. A financial assessment of income and capital establishes what the person contributes towards the weekly fee and whether public funds meet any part of it. Weekly fees differ across the forty two homes listed here according to the room, the staffing and the amount of support needed, so ask each one for its charges in writing rather than accepting a figure over the telephone. Check what falls outside the weekly rate, since hairdressing, chiropody, newspapers and transport are commonly billed on top and change the arithmetic. Where a property is owned but cannot readily be sold, ask Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council about a deferred payment arrangement instead of assuming a sale has to come first.

Choosing the right home and what to look for

Getting the measure of the ratings

With thirty two of the forty two homes rated Good, the rating alone will not separate most of this list, which makes the reports beneath them the more useful reading. Heathside Residential Home is the one provider here currently holding Outstanding. Four homes are rated Requires Improvement and one Inadequate, and four carry no rating because they registered too recently to have been inspected, so an absent rating is not in itself a warning. Check when each judgement was made, because a home can change hands and change character between inspections, then read what was written about staffing levels, medicines, how complaints were answered and whether residents seemed occupied rather than simply supervised.

What an unhurried visit tells you

Visit at a time that suits the home least, and sit through a mealtime if you can. Watch how staff address residents when they think no one is paying attention, whether call bells are answered while you wait in a corridor, and whether the people living there have anything to occupy them beyond a television in the corner. Ask how long the senior carers have worked there and what proportion of shifts in a normal week is covered by agency staff, because familiar faces matter more than furnishings. Ask to see the activities programme, then ask a resident whether it actually happens. With a list this size you can afford to see four or five homes properly, and that is time well spent.
