Planning And Paying For Care In March
How a placement will be paid for usually decides which homes are realistically available, so it is sensible to settle that before falling in love with a particular room. Five residential care homes serve March, and the weekly fee at each will depend on the home, the room and the support involved. Two separate pieces of work sit behind any funded placement, an assessment of the care needed and an assessment of what the person can afford to pay.
Getting A Care Needs Assessment
Anyone who appears to need care and support can ask for a care needs assessment, it costs nothing, and a relative or health professional can request it on someone's behalf. The assessment considers what a person still manages alone, what has become unsafe and whether support in their own home might work before a move is weighed up. Requests go through Cambridgeshire County Council adult social care, which is responsible for assessing eligible needs and arranging funded placements in this area. Ask for the written outcome, since every home will want to see it.
Fees, Contributions And Top Ups
Where eligible needs are confirmed, a financial assessment of income and capital sets what the resident contributes and what the local authority meets under the national charging rules. Families paying privately contract directly with the home and should obtain the fee in writing along with a list of what falls outside it, such as hairdressing, outings or chiropody. If a preferred home charges more than the local authority will fund, a relative may be asked for a third party top up, which should be agreed on paper before a move. Ask too what the home does when a self funding resident's savings fall to the threshold.
Choosing A Home In March And What To Check
What The Ratings Show
All five homes serving March hold a rating of Good, among them Clovelly House, Conquest Lodge, Springfield Residential Home and Belmont Road. A consistent picture like this is genuinely useful, but Good is awarded across five separate areas and the detail differs from home to home, so read each report rather than stopping at the headline. Ratings also age, so ask what has changed since the last inspection and who the registered manager is now.
Questions Worth Asking On A Visit
Go at a busy time of day. Count the carers on the floor in the middle of the afternoon, ask how many are on duty overnight and ask how much agency cover the home relies on. Watch whether residents are occupied and whether staff speak with people who cannot easily reply. Ask what happens when someone is unwell at the weekend and whether the home could continue caring for a resident whose needs increase.
