Planning and paying for residential care in South Tyneside
Starting with a care needs assessment
A move into residential care should follow an assessment rather than a scramble through brochures. The care needs assessment is free, open to anyone who appears to need care and support whatever their means, and it produces the written record of eligible needs that homes will work from. A practitioner from South Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council will consider personal care, mobility, nutrition, medication, mental wellbeing and the risks of remaining at home. If you have been providing care yourself, ask for a carer's assessment during the same conversation, since that is a separate entitlement.
Fees, contributions and what to agree in writing
A financial assessment of income and capital follows where needs are found eligible. The council may then meet the fees in full, meet part of them with a contribution from the person moving in, or conclude that the placement is privately funded. Weekly fees vary between homes and rise where needs are greater, so ask each home for its current fee, exactly what that covers and what is billed separately, such as hairdressing, chiropody or escorted appointments. Where a family expects to add a top up payment to secure a particular home or room, agree in writing who will carry future increases before anybody moves in.
Choosing a home and what to check before deciding
Reading the inspection report
All twenty two homes listed here are registered with the Care Quality Commission. One has been rated Outstanding and nineteen Good, one holds Requires Improvement, and one is not yet rated. Inspectors judge whether a home is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led, and a home rated Good overall can still be weaker in the one area that matters most to your relative, so read all five judgements rather than the headline alone. Check the date of the inspection too, because a home under new management may have changed since the report was written.
What to notice on a visit
See every home you are seriously considering and try to arrive around a mealtime rather than mid morning. Watch how staff speak to residents who are not asking for anything, whether people are dressed and occupied, and how quickly call bells are answered. Ask how many permanent staff are on duty by day and overnight and how much agency cover is used. Homes in this listing include settings such as Harton Grange, Westoe Grange Care Home, Cheviot Court and Fairholme, and each feels different once you are through the door.
Thinking about what comes next
Ask what the home can manage if needs increase and whether it is registered to support dementia, since a home unable to continue caring for somebody means a second move at the hardest possible moment. Check the practical points as well: whether a room takes familiar furniture, how visiting works for relatives who are at work, and what happens about hospital appointments and transport. Ask as well how the home keeps in touch with families between visits, since that contact matters once somebody can no longer telephone easily.
