Will I get help from Gloucestershire council with the cost of a care home?
It may. Gloucestershire council must offer a free care needs assessment (Care Act 2014). For a care home, the value of the home is usually included in the means test unless a partner or certain relatives still live there, and it is ignored for the first 12 weeks of a permanent stay; the upper limit in England is £23,250. NHS-funded nursing care can help with nursing costs. How to contact Gloucestershire council.
How should I compare care homes in Gloucester?
Start with the latest CQC report and its date: 1 of the 14 listed here was inspected or rated in the last two years; 13 have older reports. Then ask about continuity of staff, how they handle missed care, and the full price before you sign. Use our checklist.
