Choosing between the home care agencies covering Chatteris
What you are comparing here is a rota rather than a building. A package is assembled from calls of fifteen minutes to an hour or more at set times, covering help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and getting in and out of bed. Ask how many different carers a person is likely to see over a fortnight, since continuity is what families raise most often.
Where the grades sit
Priory Supported Living East England, Adelaide Care Limited and Hearts at Home Homecare Limited Cambridgeshire are each rated Good. Nassh Healthcare Ltd-Cambridge has no published rating as yet. The responsive and well led sections of each report are the ones worth reading, since they describe how missed calls, complaints and rota changes are handled.
Questions to ask before signing
Ask what the agency does when a carer rings in sick, and how late a visit can run before the family is told. Ask whether calls are logged electronically and whether relatives can see those records. Check the minimum call length, the notice period and whether the rate rises at weekends and on bank holidays.
Arranging the assessment and funding the support
The assessment shapes both the package and the cost, which is why it belongs at the start rather than once an agency has been chosen. It is free, anyone may request it, and it sets out how many calls a day are needed and what each has to achieve. Cambridgeshire County Council is responsible for that assessment and for the financial assessment that follows it.
How the means test works for care at home
For support at home the value of the property being lived in is disregarded, which is the single biggest difference from a permanent care home placement. Savings and income are measured against the national capital thresholds, and a weekly amount is always protected for living costs. That is why many people end up paying part of the cost of their care rather than all of it.
Hourly rates and direct payments
Agencies charge by the hour, usually at a higher rate at weekends and on bank holidays, and short calls cost proportionately more than longer ones. Where the council funds a package it can be taken as a direct payment, which lets the family choose the agency themselves. Attendance allowance is not means tested and is often the first thing worth claiming.
