Planning and paying for care in Oakham
Begin with an assessment of need
It is worth starting with an assessment rather than with viewings, 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 Rutland County Council Adult Social Care. An assessor considers personal care, mobility, nutrition, safety, memory and the support relatives are already giving, 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.
Fees, thresholds and top up payments
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 if the family chooses a home costing more than the council would ordinarily fund. Above the threshold, 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.
Choosing a provider and what to check
What the ratings do and do not settle
Manton Hall, Rutland House Community Trust, Aspen Manor Care Home and Wisteria House Residential Home in Rutland each hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission. The Lodge, Crown House Care Home and Aberdeen House are currently rated Requires Improvement. A rating of Requires Improvement is a reason to read carefully rather than to strike a home off a shortlist, because the report will name the specific areas inspectors were not satisfied with and whether they concerned safety, staffing, record keeping or leadership. Some of those points are quickly put right and some are not, so ask the manager directly what has changed and what the improvement plan sets out.
What to look for once you are inside
Visit 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 seems 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. Ask what the home would most like to improve, since a candid answer usually tells you more than a polished one.
