What to expect from elderly care

Care for older people covers help with washing, dressing, meals, medication and getting about, plus company and keeping an eye on health. It is the most common registration with CQC, so most providers list it; the differences are in staffing, continuity and how well care is planned around the person.

Will I get help from Devon council with the cost of a care home?

For residents who qualify, the NHS pays towards nursing through NHS-funded nursing care, and the council may help with fees. Under the Care Act 2014, Devon council has to offer a needs assessment at no cost. For the means test, a home is usually counted for care home fees unless it is still home to a partner or certain relatives (and not in the first 12 weeks of a permanent stay); in England the threshold is £23,250. How to reach Devon council.

How should I compare care homes in Crediton?

Start with the latest CQC report and its date: 1 of the 4 listed here was inspected or rated in the last two years, and 3 have an older report. Then ask about continuity of staff, how they handle missed care, and the full price before you sign. See the checklist.
