Planning and Paying for Nursing Care in Barking and Dagenham
Starting with an assessment
The assessment establishes whether nursing care is genuinely required and what should be funded, so it is worth arranging before touring homes. London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Adult Social Care carries it out and decides what support follows from it. It costs nothing, the assessment itself is not means tested, and a relative, friend or advocate may request one where the person cannot. The assessor considers mobility, medication, continence, nutrition, memory and night time supervision before writing the support plan.
Means testing and contributions
Capital and income are then examined to fix the weekly payment. Savings above the national upper capital limit usually mean the placement is privately funded, while savings below it bring a contribution from the authority towards an agreed rate. Nursing placements can also attract the NHS funded nursing care payment, covering the registered nursing element of the fee and paid straight to the provider. Where a health condition is the dominant reason for care, ask about NHS continuing healthcare.
Getting the fee in writing
Charges vary with the room, the nursing time needed and the staffing a home chooses to run. Ask for the figure in writing for the actual room on offer, together with anything billed separately, the notice period and how often rates are reviewed. Where savings are finite, ask what happens once private funds run down.
Choosing a Nursing Home Here and What to Check
Where the ratings sit
Good ratings are held by Cherry Orchard, Alexander Court Care Centre, Hanbury Court Care Home, Park View, Bennetts Castle Care Centre, Chestnut Court Care Home and Manor Lodge. Rose Court Care Home has not yet been rated, which usually reflects recent registration rather than a concern. With the other grades identical, read the reports themselves, giving weight to what inspectors said about safety and about leadership.
Questions worth asking
Ask how many registered nurses are on duty by day and overnight, how the home covers sickness and how long the manager has been in post. Ask who decides to call an ambulance when a resident deteriorates unexpectedly and how soon relatives are told. Ask too how the home accommodates different diets, languages and religious observance.
Before deciding
Visit while the day is busy, and go more than once where the choice is close. Watch whether residents are occupied rather than simply seated and whether call bells are answered calmly. Set what you saw against what inspectors described, and put any difference to the manager directly.
