Planning and paying for care in Godalming
Nursing care costs more than residential care because registered nurses form part of the staffing, so the funding question deserves attention early rather than once a home has been chosen. It can be pursued at the same time as the search itself. Establishing what help is available tends to change which homes are realistic, which is useful to know before you start visiting.
Starting with an assessment
A care needs assessment is free and available to any adult who appears to need care and support, and a relative can request one with that person's agreement. Surrey County Council carries out the assessment and arranges funded support for those found eligible. One purpose of the assessment is to establish whether nursing care is genuinely needed, so it is worth asking for while the question is still open. Where the person is in hospital, the discharge team usually sets it in motion.
Fees and the help available
Where support is agreed, a financial assessment of income and capital sets the authority's share and the person's own contribution. Separately, anyone assessed as needing care from a registered nurse in a nursing home is entitled to NHS funded nursing care, a payment made to the home towards the nursing element whoever meets the rest of the fee. Where the dominant need is a health need, NHS continuing healthcare may cover the whole cost. Ask each home for its weekly fee in writing.
Choosing a provider and what to check
Reading a mixed inspection record
Jubilee House is rated Outstanding. Robertson Nursing Home and Surrey Hills have each been judged Good, and Hydon Hill has been asked to improve. With results this varied, the ratings tell you where to look rather than what to conclude. Read the report for the home asked to improve and establish what the concern was, whether it affected residents directly, how recent the inspection was, and what has changed since. The Outstanding report is worth reading too, as a yardstick for the others.
What to ask and what to watch
Ask how many registered nurses are on duty in the day and overnight, and how sickness and leave are covered. Ask how medicines are checked, how pressure care and pain relief are managed, and how fast a doctor is called when someone deteriorates. Ask what the home would do if needs grew beyond what it can meet. Then spend time in the communal rooms, where how comfortable the residents look answers questions a tour does not.
