How do we arrange a care needs assessment in Bromley?

Contact the adult social care team at the London Borough of Bromley and ask for an assessment of care and support needs. The person themselves, a relative, a GP or a hospital team can all make that request, and the assessment is free. A practitioner will look at mobility, personal care, medication and the clinical input required, then record which needs are eligible for support. A financial assessment follows separately and decides contributions.

Can the London Borough of Bromley fund a nursing home placement?

It can, once an assessment has confirmed that nursing care in a registered home is the right way to meet someone's needs. A financial assessment then looks at income and capital and sets the council contribution towards the weekly fee. The health service pays a separate contribution towards registered nursing care straight to the home. If a family chooses a home above the rate the council will pay, a third party may be asked to meet the difference.

Which providers in Bromley offer nursing care?

Twenty one providers registered for nursing care appear on this page, each with a profile of its own. They include Coloma Court Care Home, Bromley Park Dementia Nursing Home, Beckenham Park Care Home and Prince George Duke of Kent Court, along with the rest of the list. Every profile shows the current Care Quality Commission position and links to the published report. Comparing them together is the quickest way to see which homes suit the care required.

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

A care home provides a room, meals and help with personal care such as washing, dressing and prompting medication. A nursing home offers the same and also has registered nurses on duty at all times, so wound care, injections and complex medication are handled on site. All the providers on this page hold nursing registration. Where needs are mainly social rather than clinical, a residential placement is often more suitable and usually costs less.

How far in advance should we start looking at nursing homes?

Start as soon as nursing care looks like the likely outcome, since well regarded homes often have waiting lists. A few weeks gives time to visit more than once, read the inspection reports and settle the funding position before committing. If a hospital discharge is being pressed, ask about an interim placement rather than agreeing to a permanent one under pressure. Notes from early visits are valuable even when the move happens later.

What should we ask when visiting a nursing home in Bromley?

Ask how many registered nurses and carers are on duty by day and overnight, and how often agency staff cover shifts. Ask how care plans are written and reviewed, and how quickly families are told about a fall, an infection or a change in medication. Ask what training staff have in dementia care and in supporting someone at the end of life. Practical questions about visiting, belongings and laundry are worth asking everywhere.

Arranging and Funding Nursing Care in Bromley

Settling eligibility and funding before rooms are viewed saves considerable backtracking. The assessment establishes what care is needed, the financial assessment establishes who pays, and the twenty one nursing homes listed here become a practical choice once both are known.

Requesting a care needs assessment

Anyone who appears to need care and support can ask for an assessment, and a relative, a GP or a hospital discharge team may request one on their behalf. There is no charge, whatever the household income. London Borough of Bromley Adult Social Care carries out that assessment and the financial assessment that follows, the second of which decides how much of the fee the council meets and how much the resident pays.

Two systems, not one

A contribution towards care delivered by a registered nurse is paid by the health service directly to the home rather than to the resident. Where someone's primary need is a health need rather than a social one, a separate assessment can lead to the whole package being funded through the health service. What remains is divided between the council and the resident according to the financial assessment, and the council pays only up to a set weekly rate.

Understanding what the fee covers

Ask each home for a written fee schedule rather than a figure quoted on the telephone, and check what is charged separately, such as chiropody, hairdressing, newspapers or escorted appointments. Ask how often fees are reviewed and how much notice precedes an increase. Ask what happens to the room during a hospital admission and what the home does when private savings fall to the level at which council support begins.

Choosing the Right Nursing Home in Bromley and What to Look For

Reading the ratings

Coloma Court Care Home holds the single Outstanding rating on this list, eighteen homes are rated Good, one is rated Requires Improvement and one is not yet rated. A rating summarises one inspection on one date, so open the report, check when the visit took place and see which of the five key questions were marked down. Where a home fell short, the manager should be able to describe exactly what has changed and when.

Matching the home to the clinical need

Nursing spans a wide range, from wound and pressure care to diabetes management, catheter care, complex medication and end of life support. Ask what each home is equipped and experienced to handle, how many registered nurses are on duty overnight and how much agency cover is used. Ask what would happen if a resident's health declined and whether they could stay.

What a visit adds

Go when the home is busy rather than at a quiet hour. Watch how staff speak to residents who are not expecting a visitor, whether people are occupied and how quickly call bells are answered. Ask to see a room that is genuinely available and stay while a meal is served if the timing allows, since mealtimes show how staffing really works.
