Planning and paying for care in Melton Mowbray

The assessment that sets the direction

Viewings are the natural place to start, but an assessment of need is the more useful one, because it establishes what is actually required and gives every home you approach a clear account of it. Anyone who appears to need care and support may request one, whatever their savings, and the duty to carry it out rests with Leicestershire County Council Adult Social Care. An assessor considers personal care, mobility, nutrition, safety, memory and the support relatives are already providing, then records the outcome in writing. That document establishes whether residential care is the right answer or whether a package of support at home could still meet the need, and it becomes the foundation for any funded placement.

Fees, thresholds and third party top ups

A financial assessment is carried out separately, weighing income and capital against the national thresholds. Where someone falls below them, the council contributes towards a placement it has agreed is needed, although a relative may be asked to pay a third party top up where the family chooses a home costing more than the council would ordinarily fund. Above the threshold the fees are met privately, and a fresh assessment can be requested as capital reduces. Weekly charges differ between homes and with the level of support agreed, so ask each for a written breakdown showing what the fee covers and what is billed separately, such as hairdressing, chiropody, newspapers and outings. Ask also how and when fees are reviewed, since an annual increase is usual and worth planning for.

Choosing a provider and what to check

Where the ratings sit

Ten homes match this search. Framland, Broadoak Lodge, Broadoak Grange, Hunter's Lodge, Egerton Lodge Residential Home and Mar Lodge each hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission. Scalford Court Care Home, The Amwell and Melton Short Breaks Service are currently rated Requires Improvement. Wilton Manor has not yet been rated, so no published inspection judgement exists for it. Where a home sits below Good, the report will name the areas inspectors were not satisfied with and whether they concerned safety, staffing, record keeping or leadership. Some of those points are put right quickly and some are not, so ask the manager what the improvement plan covers and what has already changed. An unrated home is a different case again, since you are relying on what the home tells you rather than on an independent account.

What a visit shows that paperwork cannot

Go more than once and at different hours, including late afternoon when a home is at its busiest. Notice whether staff greet residents by name, whether people are occupied rather than seated in front of a television, and whether anyone appears to be waiting a long time for help. Ask how long the manager has been in post, how much of the team is permanent rather than agency, and how many staff have left in the past year. Asking what the home would most like to improve often draws a more revealing answer than any question about strengths.
