Nursing Homes in Haringey
Families weighing up nursing homes in Haringey are usually doing so under pressure, with a discharge date fixed or a health condition that has quietly outgrown what can be managed at home. The London Borough of Haringey is worth contacting at that point, since it carries out the care needs assessment that sets down what help is required and the financial assessment that decides how much support towards the fee a person is entitled to receive. Two nursing homes match this search, Ashness View and Priscilla Wakefield House, and both hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, meaning inspectors judged them safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led when they last called. That consistency is reassuring, although it cannot answer the question that finally decides matters, which is whether a home suits one particular person. Look through both profiles, read the inspection reports properly, and let what inspectors recorded shape the questions you put to staff when you visit.
What nursing care in Haringey involves
Where nursing differs from residential care
A nursing home is registered to keep qualified nurses on duty at every hour of the day and night, and that is the practical difference from a residential home. It matters when someone needs wound dressing, help managing complex medication, support with feeding, or close monitoring of a condition that can turn quickly. Ashness View and Priscilla Wakefield House are the two homes matching this search, and each holds a Good rating.
What to check before committing
Ask each home to confirm in writing that it can meet the particular clinical needs involved, because registration on its own is not a guarantee. Find out how many nurses are rostered overnight, how much of the team is permanent rather than agency, and what happens if a resident's health declines. Read the inspection report rather than stopping at the rating, and note how recent the visit was.
Getting an assessment and arranging funding
Start with the care needs assessment
The assessment is free, open to anyone who appears to need care whatever their savings, and it produces a written record that any home will find useful. London Borough of Haringey Adult Social Care carries it out and, where eligible needs are found, follows it with a financial assessment that establishes the share of the fee public funding will meet.
How the money usually works
Nursing fees sit above residential fees because of the round the clock nursing cover. Residents with an assessed nursing need may have part of that met by NHS funded nursing care, paid directly to the home. Ask for a written fee schedule showing what the weekly charge covers and what is billed as an extra.
