Comparing the Care Homes in Rutland
How the eight homes were judged
Aspen Manor Care Home, Rutland House Community Trust, Manton Hall, Wisteria House Residential Home and Chater Lodge all hold Good ratings. Aberdeen House, Crown House Care Home and The Lodge currently require improvement. Where a home has been marked down, the useful questions are which of the five key areas was criticised, how serious the finding was and what has changed since. A point about record keeping is a different matter from a concern about safety, and a manager who can describe the difference is worth listening to.
Reading a report properly
Each overall rating gathers five judgements into one word, covering safety, effectiveness, caring, responsiveness and leadership. Two homes with the same grade can feel quite different once the detail is read, so the safety and leadership sections repay attention. Check the date of the inspection as well, because staff and managers move on and an older report may describe a team that has since changed.
What to notice on a visit
Go at a busy point in the day rather than a quiet one. Watch whether residents are occupied rather than simply sitting, whether call bells are answered calmly and whether staff know the people they pass by name. Ask how staffing is covered at night and at weekends, how long the manager has been in post and how families hear about a fall or a change in health.
Arranging and Funding Residential Care in Rutland
The care needs assessment
An assessment of need is the proper first step and is open to anyone who appears to require care and support. Rutland County Council social care team carries out that assessment and decides what funded support should follow from it. There is no charge, the assessment itself is not means tested, and a relative or advocate may request one on someone else's behalf. The assessor looks at mobility, medication, memory, nutrition and the help needed each day before writing the support plan.
Contributions and fees
A financial assessment then considers capital and income to set the weekly contribution. Savings above the national upper capital limit usually mean the placement is privately funded, while savings below it bring support from the authority towards an agreed rate. Property is treated differently depending on circumstances, and a deferred payment arrangement can sometimes bridge the gap while a house is sold. Ask each home for its fee in writing for the specific room, along with anything charged separately.
