Comparing the nursing homes in Stone
Reading the inspection record
Thirty three nursing homes match this search in Stone. The Links and Burwood Nursing Home each hold an Outstanding rating from the Care Quality Commission, twenty two homes are rated Good, five are rated Requires Improvement and four have yet to be inspected. A rating captures one inspection on one set of days, so the report behind it carries the useful detail. Look at how medicines were managed, how clinical risk was assessed and whether staffing was sufficient when inspectors called. Where a home is rated Requires Improvement, the manager should be able to explain plainly what has changed since and show you the evidence.
The clinical questions to put to a manager
What separates a nursing home from a residential one is the registered nurse on duty at every hour, so ask how many nurses cover each shift and how absences are filled. Ask how the home works with the local doctor, the district nursing team and specialists in falls or tissue viability, and how quickly a resident who deteriorates is reviewed. Ask about pressure area care, wound and catheter management, and how pain is assessed in someone who cannot easily express it. Ask too how the home supports people towards the end of life, and whether it can keep someone whose needs become complex.
Seeing it for yourself
Visit more than once and at different hours, including 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. Consider how easily relatives can get there, whether routines, faith and language are supported and whether familiar belongings can come too. Homes such as Autumn House Nursing Home, Rodwell House and Wells House Nursing Home each carry a profile here.
Arranging a placement and meeting the cost
Starting with an assessment
Any adult who appears to need care and support may request a care needs assessment, free of charge whatever the household holds. It is carried out by the Staffordshire County Council social care team, which is 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 needs. Where nursing needs are identified a further health assessment may follow, because the health service can contribute towards the nursing element and occasionally funds the whole placement.
How fees are settled
A financial assessment looks at income, savings and property. Where capital falls below the national threshold the council contributes towards the fee while the resident pays an assessed amount from income; above it, the placement is funded privately until savings reduce to that level. Nursing fees usually sit higher than residential ones because of the clinical staffing involved, so ask for the current weekly rate in writing and check what lies outside it. Hairdressing, chiropody, outings and certain therapies are frequently billed as extras.
