Which home care agencies in Burnley does this page cover?

It lists thirty one providers registered with the Care Quality Commission to deliver care in people's own homes in and around Burnley. Each entry shows the current rating, where one has been issued, and links through to a fuller profile. Several are newer services that have not yet been inspected, so no rating appears against them. Open the profiles that interest you to see what inspectors recorded about each agency.

What should we ask an agency before signing anything?

Ask how many different carers would visit over a typical fortnight and how the agency protects continuity when someone is away. Ask what happens if a carer is running late or cannot get to the house at all, and who answers the telephone outside office hours. Check how care plans are written and reviewed, and how staff are supervised in the field. Ask finally what the agency learned from its most recent complaint, since the answer usually reveals how seriously it takes them.

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

Home care sends paid carers into a person's own house for visits of an agreed length, leaving them in familiar surroundings. A residential care home provides somewhere to live with personal care available at any hour from care staff. A nursing home offers that same accommodation with registered nurses on site for clinical needs. Many families begin with home care and consider a move only when the hours required make staying at home impractical.

Can Lancashire County Council pay for home care?

It can, where a person meets both the care needs test and the financial test. The care needs assessment sets out what support is required, and a financial assessment of income and capital then decides what the person contributes towards the cost. Lancashire County Council is the authority responsible for both assessments and for arranging funded support for those who qualify. Ask whether any funding could come as a direct payment, which would let you choose the agency yourself.

How do we arrange a care needs assessment in Burnley?

Contact the adult social care team at Lancashire County Council and ask for an assessment of care and support needs. The person concerned can request one, a relative can ask on their behalf with agreement, or a hospital discharge team can make the referral. The assessment is free and no level of savings affects the right to have one. Keep the written outcome, since it sets out clearly what support has been judged necessary.

How far ahead should we start looking?

Earlier than most people think, because agencies cannot always take on a new package at short notice. Cover at the busiest times, particularly early mornings and evenings, is usually the hardest to arrange. Starting before the need becomes urgent gives you time to meet more than one provider and compare properly. It also lets your relative have a say in who comes into their home, which matters more than families often expect.

What home care in Burnley involves and what to look for

Home care ranges from a single short call each morning to several visits a day, and in some cases live in support. Because the work takes place in someone's own house, with nobody else watching, reliability and continuity matter more than anything a brochure can promise. The questions worth asking are mostly about how an agency behaves on a difficult day rather than a straightforward one.

Working out what support is needed

Start with the practical shape of the week: what time help is needed, how long each visit should last and exactly what it has to cover. Personal care, prompting with medication, preparing meals, shopping and companionship are all common requests, but agencies differ in how they handle memory loss, moving and handling, or a relative who is reluctant to let anyone in at first. Ask how many different carers would normally attend over a fortnight, because a rotating cast unsettles most people and defeats much of the point. Ask too what the agency does when a regular carer is on leave or off sick.

What the inspection record shows

Every rating rests on five separate judgements, covering whether a service is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led. Eighteen agencies on this list are rated Good and twelve have not yet been inspected, so for a good part of the list you will be relying on your own questions rather than on a published report. Where a service sits at Requires Improvement, read exactly what the inspectors found and ask the manager what has changed since. Check the date of any report as well, since a small agency can look quite different a year or two on from an inspection.

Getting an assessment and sorting out the funding

Care at home is charged by the hour or by the visit, which makes the arithmetic easier to follow than residential fees, though the route to public funding is much the same.

Asking for a care needs assessment

Anyone who appears to need care and support can request an assessment, whatever their savings, and there is no charge for it. It considers personal care, mobility, nutrition, memory, medication and the risks of managing alone, and produces a written record of the support required. Lancashire County Council Adult Social Care carries out that assessment and the financial assessment that decides what public funding contributes. If funding is agreed, ask whether it could be paid as a direct payment, because that generally gives a family more control over which agency is chosen and how visits are arranged.

Understanding the hourly rate

Agencies set their own rates, shaped by the time of day, the length of each call, the skills needed and whether weekends or bank holidays are involved. Ask for the rate in writing, ask what the shortest visit is that the agency will accept, and ask how travel time between calls is treated. Check how quickly a package can be increased if needs change, and what notice each side must give to end it. Where the council is contributing, confirm whether its rate covers the full hourly charge or leaves a difference for the family to meet.
