Elderly care: what it means
This is the registration most providers hold with CQC. Care for older people includes personal care (washing, dressing), meals, medication, help getting about, company and keeping watch on health. Since most providers list it, look at staffing levels, carer continuity and how carefully the care fits the individual.
Before you choose: questions on elderly care
- What activities and company do you offer, not just personal care?
- Will the same small team of carers or staff look after them?
- How is the care plan written and how often is it reviewed with the family?
- How do you manage medication, and who checks it?
- How do you keep the family updated week to week?

Can Oxfordshire council help pay for a care home?
It may. Oxfordshire 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 Oxfordshire council.
