Can London Borough of Hillingdon pay for care at home?

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. London Borough of Hillingdon is the authority responsible for both assessments and for arranging funded support for those who qualify. Ask whether funding could be taken as a direct payment, which would leave the choice of agency with you.

How is a care needs assessment arranged in Uxbridge?

Contact the adult social care team at London Borough of Hillingdon and ask for an assessment of care and support needs. A person can request one themselves, a relative can ask with their agreement, or a hospital discharge team can make the referral. The assessment is free and savings do not affect the right to have one. Keep the written outcome, since it is the clearest description of what support has been judged necessary.

How far ahead should we start looking?

Earlier than feels necessary, because agencies cannot always take on a new package at short notice. Early morning and evening calls are the hardest slots to fill, and they are usually the ones families need most. Starting before the need is urgent leaves time to meet more than one provider and compare them fairly. It also gives your relative a say in who comes into their home.

Which home care agencies in Uxbridge are listed here?

The page lists thirty one services registered with the Care Quality Commission to deliver care in people's own homes in and around Uxbridge. They include providers such as Primacy Homecare, Forward Care and Nika Care, alongside a number of smaller and newer agencies. Each entry shows a rating where one has been issued and links to a fuller profile. Twelve of the services have not yet been inspected, so read each profile before drawing conclusions.

What should we ask an agency before agreeing to visits?

Ask how many different carers would attend over a fortnight and how continuity is protected when someone is away. Ask what happens if a carer is running late or cannot reach the house, and how quickly you would be told. Check how care plans are written, how often they are reviewed and how staff are supervised in people's homes. Ask as well what the agency changed after its most recent complaint.

How does home care differ from a care home or a nursing home?

Home care brings paid carers into a person's own house for visits of an agreed length, leaving them in familiar surroundings. A residential care home provides accommodation with personal care available at any hour from care staff. A nursing home offers the 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.

Planning and paying for care at home in Uxbridge

Care at home is charged by the hour or by the visit, which makes it easier to budget for than a residential placement. It still adds up quickly once several calls a day are involved, so the funding position is worth settling before the search goes far.

The care needs assessment

Any adult who appears to need care and support is entitled to an assessment, whatever their savings, and it costs nothing. It examines personal care, mobility, nutrition, memory, medication and the risks of managing alone, and produces a written record of the support required. London Borough of Hillingdon Adult Social Care is responsible for that assessment and for the financial assessment that decides what public funding contributes. Where support is agreed, ask whether it could be paid as a direct payment, since that normally leaves the choice of agency with the family rather than the council.

What the hourly rate covers

Agencies set their own charges, which vary by the time of day, the length of each call, the skills required and whether weekends or bank holidays are involved. Ask for the rate in writing, ask what the shortest visit is that a provider will accept and ask whether travel time between calls comes out of the visit you pay for. Check how quickly a package can be increased if needs change, what notice applies to end it and whether a call cancelled on the day is charged. Where the council contributes, confirm whether its rate meets the full charge or leaves a difference for the family to find, and get that answer in writing before the visits begin.

Choosing an agency and what to check

With more than a third of this list awaiting a first inspection, your own questions carry more weight than they would with residential care.

Continuity, cover and who turns up

Ask how many different carers would visit over a typical fortnight and how the agency keeps that number down. Ask what happens when a regular carer is on leave or off sick, how a family is told if a visit will be late, and who answers the telephone in the evening or at a weekend. Ask how care workers are recruited, what training they complete before working alone and how they are supervised afterwards. A manager who answers these precisely has usually thought about them properly, and vagueness about cover rarely improves once the visits have started.

Working with a rating, or without one

Where an inspection has taken place, the rating rests on five judgements covering whether a service is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led, and the detail underneath is far more useful than the word itself. Note the date, because a small agency can change considerably within a year. Where no rating has been issued, ask how long the service has operated, how many people it supports at present and whether it can put you in touch with an existing family. A missing rating is not a warning, but it does leave the checking to you.
