What to expect from elderly care

Personal care such as washing and dressing, plus meals, medicines and help getting around, as well as company and an eye on health: that is care for older people. Because nearly every provider is registered for it, compare them instead on staffing, continuity and how well care is shaped around the person.

What to ask about elderly care

  1. What happens at weekends, at night and in an emergency?
  2. How do you keep the family updated week to week?
  3. How much notice do you need to change or add care?
  4. How do you spot early signs of illness, falls or dehydration?
  5. Will the same small team of carers or staff look after them?

Can Rotherham council help pay for a care home?

Possibly. The Care Act 2014 means Rotherham 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 Rotherham council.

How can I pick between care homes in Swallownest?

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.
