Choosing between the nursing homes in Leigh
What the ratings show
Twenty seven nursing homes match this search in Leigh, and the ratings are spread widely enough to be useful. Hallmark Admiral Court Luxury Care Home holds an Outstanding rating from the Care Quality Commission, seventeen homes are rated Good, seven are rated Requires Improvement and two have not yet been inspected. Read the report rather than the label, looking in particular at how medicines were managed, how clinical risk was assessed and whether staffing was sufficient on the days inspectors called. A home rated Requires Improvement may already have acted, and its manager should be able to show you what has changed.
The clinical questions worth asking
Nursing homes are distinguished by having registered nurses on duty at all hours, so ask how many nurses cover each shift and how vacancies are filled when someone is away. Ask how the home works with the local doctor, the district nursing team and the falls or tissue viability specialists, and how quickly a deteriorating resident is reviewed. Ask about pressure area care, catheter and wound management, and how pain is assessed in someone who cannot easily say they are in pain. The answers tell you more about daily reality than any brochure.
Seeing the home for yourself
Visit more than once, at different times, and include a mealtime or the late afternoon rather than only a planned tour. Notice whether staff know residents by name, whether people are occupied and how promptly call bells are answered. Think about how easily relatives can get there, whether routines, faith and language are supported and whether familiar belongings can come along. Homes such as Challoner House, Orchard Lodge Care Home and Home Park Nursing Home each carry a profile here setting out their current position.
Arranging nursing care and paying for it
The care needs assessment
Any adult who appears to need care and support can ask for a care needs assessment, free of charge whatever the household holds. It is carried out by Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council Adult Social Care, the authority responsible for assessing need and arranging funded support. A practitioner considers personal care, mobility, memory, medication and the pressure on relatives, then records in writing what the person requires. Where nursing needs are identified, a separate health assessment may follow, since the health service can contribute towards the nursing element of a placement and in some cases fund the whole of it.
How the fees work
A financial assessment considers income, savings and property. Where capital falls below the national threshold the council contributes towards the fee and the resident pays an assessed amount from income; above it, the placement is funded privately until savings reduce to that level. Nursing home fees generally run higher than residential ones because of the clinical staffing involved, so ask each home for its current weekly rate in writing and check what sits outside it. Hairdressing, chiropody, outings and certain therapies are frequently billed as extras.
