What to expect from elderly care

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.
Before you choose: questions on elderly care
- Will the same small team of carers or staff look after them?
- What activities and company do you offer, not just personal care?
- How do you manage medication, and who checks it?
- How is the care plan written and how often is it reviewed with the family?
- What happens at weekends, at night and in an emergency?

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

Under the Care Act 2014, Leicestershire 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.

Start with the latest CQC report and its date: 3 of the 14 listed here were inspected or rated in the last two years, and 7 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.
