What Nursing Care in Lambeth Involves and What to Look For
The support a nursing home provides
Residents have a permanent room, meals prepared each day and help with washing, dressing, mobility and medication, with registered nurses on the rota so clinical tasks can be carried out at any hour. That makes a nursing home the right setting where wounds need dressing, a feeding tube is in place or a long term condition is unstable. Staff are on duty overnight and the nurse is on the premises rather than on call from elsewhere.
Where the ratings stand
Fairlie House holds an Outstanding rating, the grade inspectors reserve for something they consider genuinely exceptional. Limetree Care Home, St Mary's Care Home, The Healthcare Professional Services, Uplands Care Home and Windmill Lodge Care Home are rated Good. Three homes currently require improvement: British Home and Hospital for Incurables, Havelock Court Care Home and the Little Sisters of the Poor residence at St Peters. In those cases, read which of the five key areas was criticised and ask the provider what has changed since.
Questions worth asking
Ask how many registered nurses are rostered by day and overnight, how sickness is covered and how long the manager has been in post. Ask who decides to call an ambulance when someone deteriorates in the early hours and how quickly relatives are told. Ask also how the home accommodates different diets, languages and religious observance. Visit while the day is busy and watch how people are spoken to rather than about.
Getting an Assessment and Funding Nursing Care in Lambeth
The assessment of need
Assessment comes before choosing, and anyone who appears to require care and support may ask for one. London Borough of Lambeth Adult Social Care carries out that assessment and decides what funded support should follow from it. There is no charge, the assessment is not means tested, and a relative or advocate may request it on someone else's behalf. The assessor considers mobility, medication, continence, nutrition, memory and supervision at night, then writes a support plan.
Contributions and fees
Capital and income are then examined to fix the weekly payment. Where savings exceed the national upper capital limit the placement is normally privately funded, and where they fall below it the authority contributes towards an agreed rate. Nursing placements may also attract the NHS funded nursing care payment towards the registered nursing element, paid directly to the provider. Ask each home for its fee in writing for the specific room, along with anything charged separately and how often rates are reviewed.
