What to expect from nursing care

Wounds, catheters, diabetes and conditions requiring clinical monitoring are typical reasons to choose a nursing home, where there is always a registered nurse working, 24 hours a day. NHS-funded nursing care is a weekly contribution the NHS pays straight to the home for each resident whose needs call for a registered nurse.

Before you choose: questions on nursing care

  2. How quickly can a GP or the community team visit?
  3. Do you help residents get assessed for NHS-funded nursing care?

Our cost guide has more detail.

Can East Sussex council help pay for a care home?

Possibly. The Care Act 2014 means East Sussex council has to assess care needs without charge. For a care home, the means test usually includes your home's value, unless your partner, or certain other relatives, still live in it, and never in the first 12 weeks of a permanent stay. The capital limit above which you pay in full is £23,250 in England, and NHS-funded nursing care can meet some nursing costs. Contacting East Sussex council.

How can I pick between care homes in Seaford?

Check how recent each CQC report is first: none of the 3 on this page were inspected or rated in the past two years, while 3 have older reports. Next ask three things: will staff be consistent, what happens about missed care, and what is the full price? Our checklist.
