How do I arrange a care needs assessment in Leicester?

Contact the adult social care team at Leicester City Council and ask for an assessment, which can be requested by the person needing care or by someone acting for them. The assessment costs nothing and has no savings test, because the right belongs to anyone who appears to need care and support. A practitioner will look at daily routines, safety at home and the help family are already giving before advising on the support required. If the person is currently in hospital, the discharge team can begin the same process from the ward.

Can Leicester City Council help pay for care at home?

It can, where the care needs assessment establishes that support is needed and the financial assessment places capital below the national threshold. The council then funds the agreed hours and the person pays a contribution worked out from their income rather than a fixed charge. Those with capital above the threshold pay privately, but can still request an assessment and use the council for advice. Some people take their funding as a direct payment and arrange their own agency with it.

Is home care different from a care home or a nursing home?

Home care sends carers to a person in their own house for planned visits, so daily life and surroundings stay as they are. A care home provides accommodation with personal care built in, meaning support is on hand at any hour rather than only at arranged times. A nursing home offers the same plus registered nurses on site for clinical needs. Home care generally fits people whose needs can be met within scheduled calls, and hours are often increased before residential care is considered.

How soon should I start contacting agencies in Leicester?

Begin as soon as managing at home starts to look difficult, rather than waiting for a fall or a hospital admission to force a rushed arrangement. Agencies do not always have capacity at the busiest times of day, particularly early mornings and teatime, so a little notice widens the choice considerably. Starting early also allows the assessment and any financial checks to finish at a reasonable pace. Where care is needed at short notice, an agency with availability can usually be found, but with less room to be selective.

What should I ask before agreeing to a care package?

Ask how many different carers will visit each week and whether the rota is shared in advance, as continuity shapes the experience more than any other factor. Ask how sickness and holidays are covered, what happens when a visit runs late, and who answers the telephone outside office hours. Confirm the rate per hour or per visit and whether evenings, weekends and bank holidays cost more. It is also reasonable to ask how carers are trained and supervised, and how you would raise a concern if one arose.

Home Care in Leicester

Q: How many home care agencies are there in Leicester?

One hundred and eighty three home care agencies registered with the Care Quality Commission are listed for Leicester on this page. They include long established providers alongside a large number of agencies that have registered relatively recently. Each listing carries the provider name and its current inspection rating where the Care Quality Commission has awarded one. A substantial proportion have not yet been inspected, so many profiles show registration details rather than a rating.

Leicester has 185 CQC registered home care agencies. 66 are rated Good, 2 Outstanding, 21 Requires improvement, and 96 have not yet been rated. 70 of the 185 were last inspected more than three years ago.

Setting up care at home in Leicester and meeting the cost

Families usually arrive at a list of agencies with two unanswered questions still open: how much help is actually needed, and who is going to pay for it. Both are settled by the same process, and starting it early makes the choice between the one hundred and eighty three registered agencies serving Leicester a good deal more straightforward.

Asking for an assessment of care needs

The entitlement to a care needs assessment rests on appearing to need care and support, not on income or savings, and the assessment itself is free. A practitioner will talk through the ordinary shape of the day, getting up, washing, dressing, preparing meals, managing medication and moving safely around the home, and set out where support would make a difference. Requests go to Leicester City Council adult social care, which also carries out the separate financial assessment used to work out eligibility for funding. Anyone providing unpaid care for a relative has a right to a carer assessment of their own alongside it.

Rates, contributions and other funding routes

Agencies charge by the hour or by the visit, so the weekly figure comes directly from how many calls the care plan sets out and how long each one lasts. Rates are commonly higher for early mornings, evenings, weekends and bank holidays, which is worth clarifying before agreeing anything. Where the financial assessment places capital below the national threshold, the council contributes towards the agreed hours while the person pays a contribution calculated from their income. Above the threshold, care is arranged and paid for privately, though the council will still assess and give advice. Some people choose a direct payment instead, taking the council funding as cash and arranging their own agency with it, which brings more control and more administration in equal measure.

Comparing home care agencies across Leicester

Reading agencies that carry no rating

A great many of the agencies listed here have never been inspected, so an absence of rating is common rather than unusual in this city. That is not a warning sign in itself, but it does mean the usual shortcut is unavailable and other evidence has to carry the weight. Check how long the provider has been registered, whether the registered manager is named and in post, and what the agency says about training and supervision. Where a rating does exist, as it does for Storm Homecare, Infinity Care and other agencies rated Good, read the report rather than the label, since inspectors record specific findings on timekeeping, medication and how concerns are handled.

The questions worth asking every agency

Ask how many different carers would come in a typical fortnight, because a rotating cast is the most common complaint families make about home care. Ask what the agency does when a carer calls in sick, how late a visit can run before the office telephones to say so, and whether calls are ever shortened when a round is under pressure. Confirm that carers cover the specific area of Leicester where care is needed and can reliably reach it at the times requested. Ask about the language skills and cultural background of the carers if that matters to the person receiving care, and ask how the care plan will be reviewed as needs shift.
