Planning and paying for nursing care in Bracknell Forest
Starting with a care needs assessment
A nursing placement should follow an assessment rather than a hurried search. It is free, open to anyone who appears to need care and support whatever their means, and it produces the written record of eligible needs that homes will work from. A practitioner from Bracknell Forest Council will consider personal care, mobility, nutrition, medication, mental wellbeing and the clinical support somebody needs day to day. Where nursing tasks form part of the picture the assessment should say so plainly, since that determines whether a residential home could meet the need at all.
Fees, contributions and funded nursing care
A financial assessment of income and capital follows where needs are eligible. The council may then meet the fees in full, meet part of them with a contribution from the person moving in, or conclude that the placement is privately funded. Nursing fees sit higher than residential fees because of the qualified staff on the rota, and in this part of the country they tend towards the upper end. Where someone has been assessed as needing care from a registered nurse, a contribution towards that element may be paid through funded nursing care, and a small number of people with substantial health needs have the full cost met by the health service. Ask each home for its weekly fee in writing and what it covers.
Choosing a nursing home and what to check
Reading the inspection report
All six homes listed here are registered with the Care Quality Commission. One has been rated Outstanding and two Good, two hold Requires Improvement, and one is not yet rated. Inspectors judge whether a home is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led, and in a nursing setting the safe judgement carries particular weight because it covers medicines, wound care, staffing levels and moving people safely. Check the inspection date too, since a home under new management may already have acted on what was found.
What to ask and notice on a visit
Ask how many registered nurses are on duty by day and overnight, how often agency nurses cover shifts, and how the home works with district nurses and general practitioners. Watch how staff speak to residents who are not asking for anything, how quickly call bells are answered and whether people are up and occupied. The homes here include settings such as St David's Nursing Home, Bickerton House and Heathlands Care Centre. Ask what each can manage if needs increase and whether it supports end of life care.
