Which care providers in Paignton are listed here?

Nineteen residential care homes in Paignton appear in this collection, each with its own profile on Care Assura. All are registered with the Care Quality Commission, the regulator that inspects and rates adult social care in England. Each profile carries the current published rating and links through to the inspection report behind it. Because the grades on this list vary considerably, the reports are the part worth reading closely.

What is the difference between a residential care home and a nursing home?

A residential care home provides a permanent home with personal care, meaning help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and company. A nursing home offers the same support and also employs registered nurses at all hours, so clinical care is given on the premises. The distinction is fixed by each provider's registration and limits who may be admitted. All the homes on this page are registered for residential care, so a continuing nursing need points towards a nursing registered home.

What should we ask when visiting a care home in Paignton?

Ask how many carers are on duty by day and by night, and how long the present team has worked at the home. Ask how the day is organised and what is offered to a resident who would rather not join a group. Ask to see an example care plan and how residents and families help shape it. Then ask for the fee schedule in writing, with every chargeable extra listed.

How do we arrange a care needs assessment in Paignton?

Contact Torbay Council and ask for an adult social care needs assessment. The request can come from the person needing care, from a relative or friend acting for them, or from a GP or hospital discharge team. There is no charge and savings do not affect the right to be assessed. The written outcome describes the support required and becomes the basis for choosing a home and for any funding decision.

Can Torbay Council fund a care home placement?

It can, where the needs assessment shows residential care is required and the financial assessment shows capital below the national upper threshold. Support is worked out on a sliding scale and the resident normally contributes from income as well. What happens to a property depends on who continues to live in it, and deferred payment arrangements exist where wealth is tied up in a house. Ask for the calculation in writing so the figures can be checked.

How soon should a family begin looking?

Earlier than feels necessary, because well regarded homes hold waiting lists and an emergency removes almost all choice. Starting in good time also lets the person concerned visit and give a view of their own. A calm order is to request the assessment, build a shortlist and visit while there is still time to reflect. If a hospital discharge is setting the pace, a short stay elsewhere can create room to choose properly.

Choosing between the care homes in Paignton

No family gets round nineteen homes, so the real work is elimination rather than exploration. Registration, distance and the last inspection do most of the sifting. What is left is decided by walking through the door and paying attention.

Reading a mixed set of grades

One home here holds Outstanding, the regulator's highest judgement, and fourteen hold Good. Two carry Requires Improvement and one has no published rating yet. One has been rated Inadequate, the most serious judgement available, and that report should be read in full before a visit is even considered, since it records exactly what was found and what the provider was told to put right. Throughout, look at the date of each inspection as closely as the word attached to it.

Match the registration to the person

Every provider on this page is registered as a residential care home, which means a permanent home with personal care rather than nursing on the premises. Community health staff visit for particular tasks and that covers a great deal. A continuing clinical need belongs in a nursing registered home instead. Ask what each home does when a resident's needs increase, and whether anyone has had to move on as a result.

Two visits, one of them unannounced

The arranged visit shows a home at its best, which is fair enough. Go back at teatime without warning and you will learn the rest. Notice whether residents look comfortable and occupied, whether staff speak with people rather than about them, and how quickly a call bell is answered. Ask how many carers are on overnight and how long the team has been in post.

Arranging and funding a place in Paignton

The assessment of needs

Any adult who appears to need care and support has the right to a free assessment, whatever their capital and whether or not they expect to pay privately. A practitioner reviews washing and dressing, mobility, medication, meals, safety and isolation, then records what support is required. That written outcome shapes which homes will suit and underpins any funding claim later. Arrange it through Torbay Council adult social care, and ask for a carer's assessment in your own right if you have been providing support at home.

Who pays, and on what basis

A financial assessment then compares capital and income with national thresholds. Above the upper threshold the placement is self funded. Below it the council pays a share while the resident contributes from income and keeps a protected personal allowance. Where a property is involved, its treatment depends on who else lives there, and a deferred payment agreement can postpone a sale. Ask for the calculation in writing so it can be checked.

What a weekly fee covers

Fees differ between homes and between rooms within one home, according to size, outlook and the support needed. Ask for an itemised list of what is included and what is billed separately, such as hairdressing, chiropody, outings or escorted appointments. Ask how often fees are reviewed and what notice precedes an increase.
