Which home care agencies serve Farnborough?

Nineteen agencies registered to deliver care at home appear on this page, each registered with the Care Quality Commission. They include Unity in Care, Remarkable Care and Lighthouse Bespoke Healthcare, alongside others covering the area. Every listing shows the provider name, the current CQC rating where one has been given and a link to the full profile. Coverage differs street by street, so confirm that an agency visits the address concerned.

What should we ask a home care agency in Farnborough before committing?

Ask how many different carers will visit in a typical fortnight and whether you can meet them beforehand. Ask what happens when a carer is off sick, how missed or late visits are handled and who is contactable outside office hours. Check how the care plan is drawn up, how often it is reviewed and how medication support is recorded. Request the complete rate card in writing, including weekend rates, travel charges and notice periods for changes.

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

A care home provides accommodation with personal care, such as help with washing, dressing, meals and medication. A nursing home provides the same with registered nurses on duty at all hours for clinical care. Home care sits apart from both, since the support comes to the person and is charged by the hour or the visit. Families often begin with home care and consider residential options only when the hours required become impractical.

Will the London Borough of Southwark pay for home care?

It may, depending on a financial assessment carried out after the care needs assessment. The London Borough of Southwark considers income, savings and capital, and contributes towards the cost where these fall below the national threshold. Funding is set at a level judged sufficient to meet assessed needs and can be taken as a direct payment. Where savings sit above the threshold, the arrangement is private between the household and the agency.

How do we arrange a care needs assessment in Farnborough?

Contact the adult social care team at the London Borough of Southwark and ask for a care needs assessment. It is free, it is not means tested and anyone who appears to need care is entitled to one. A relative, a GP or a hospital team can make the referral where the person is unable to. The assessment covers daily tasks, safety and existing support, and it sets out how many hours of care are considered necessary.

How far in advance should we start arranging care at home?

As early as the need becomes foreseeable, because assessments take time and agencies do not always have capacity at once. A few weeks of notice allows you to speak to more than one provider and compare inspection reports properly. Where a hospital discharge is being planned, tell the council promptly, since those cases are handled faster. If someone is deteriorating slowly, an assessment now prevents a rushed decision later.

What home care in Farnborough involves and what to look for

A package of care is really a set of promises about time: someone will arrive at eight, someone will come back at teatime, and someone will notice if things start to change. Judging an agency means judging how reliably those promises are kept.

Reading a patchy set of ratings

One agency here is rated Outstanding, nine are rated Good, two carry Requires Improvement and seven have no rating yet. Inspectors comment on punctuality, staff training and supervision, medicines records and how the office responds when something goes wrong, which is exactly what families notice in the first month. Where an agency is rated Requires Improvement, read what was found, check the date and ask directly what has changed since. Where no rating exists, ask how long the agency has operated, who manages it and whether the people behind it have been inspected elsewhere.

The questions worth asking first

Ask how many different carers will visit over a fortnight, because continuity matters more than any other single factor. Ask what happens when a regular carer is ill, how late a visit may run before the office telephones, and who answers the phone at the weekend. Ask how the care plan is written, how often it is reviewed, and whether you can meet the carers before they begin. Ask as well how quickly the package could be increased if someone came home from hospital needing more help than before. Ask what the agency does when it cannot staff a new client reliably, because a provider willing to say no is usually one that keeps its promises to everybody else.

Getting an assessment and arranging the funding

The assessment establishes what care is considered necessary, and every conversation about money afterwards refers back to it.

The care needs assessment

An assessment is free, is not means tested and is open to anyone who appears to need care. It looks at getting up, washing, dressing, meals, medication, moving safely about the house and coping alone in the evening, and produces a support plan setting out the hours considered necessary. London Borough of Southwark Adult Social Care carries out that assessment and the financial assessment that follows it. A relative providing regular support can request a carer's assessment in their own right, which sometimes leads to help that would otherwise be missed.

What home care costs and who contributes

Care at home is charged by the hour or by the visit, with higher rates at weekends and on bank holidays. Where the financial assessment finds savings below the national threshold, the council contributes towards the cost, and that money can be taken as a direct payment so the household selects its own agency. Above the threshold the arrangement is private. Ask for the full rate card in writing, including travel charges, minimum visit lengths and notice periods, and ask how quickly hours can be reduced again if someone recovers, because flexibility in both directions is what keeps an arrangement affordable.
