Organising an assessment and working out the cost of care in Liss
Most families arrive at this point with a shortlist already forming and the money still unresolved, which is the wrong way round. A care needs assessment establishes what level of support is genuinely needed, costs nothing and can be requested by anyone, including a relative acting with the person's consent. Hampshire County Council is the authority responsible for that assessment and for the financial assessment that follows, and the outcome of the first shapes which of these homes are suitable at all.
How the means test is worked out
Savings, income and, in a permanent placement, usually the value of a property are set 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. Where capital is tied up in a house, a deferred payment arrangement can postpone a sale.
Fees and the help that sits outside the means test
Residential fees in this part of the country sit well above the national average, so ask early what a weekly figure actually includes and what appears as an extra. Attendance allowance and the daily living component of personal independence payment are not means tested and are often missed by people funding themselves. Where a council contribution falls short of a home's private rate, establish in writing whether a third party payment is expected and who would be liable for it.
Weighing up the care homes covering Liss
Rotherbank, East Hill House Residential Care Home and Whitegates & The Cottage are each rated Good. Forest Brow Care Home currently holds a rating of Requires Improvement. All four have been inspected, which makes a direct comparison possible, and the smaller size of this group means places can come and go quickly.
Reading a Requires Improvement rating properly
The grade reflects one inspection on one set of dates and is not an instruction to look elsewhere. The report sets out which areas fell short, whether staffing, record keeping or the way the home is led, and many homes recover the grade at the next inspection. Check the date, read the detail and ask the manager what has changed since.
What a visit ought to tell you
Ask how many care staff are on duty through the day and overnight, and how often agency cover is used. Find out what happens if needs rise beyond personal care, since a residential home cannot provide nursing. Arrive near a mealtime and watch how residents needing help to eat are supported.
