Can Swindon council help pay for a care home?
For residents who qualify, the NHS pays towards nursing through NHS-funded nursing care, and the council may help with fees. Under the Care Act 2014, Swindon 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. How to reach Swindon council.
How can I pick between care homes in Wroughton?
Check how recent each CQC report is first: 4 of the 6 on this page were inspected or rated in the past two years, and 2 have an older report. Next ask three things: will staff be consistent, what happens about missed care, and what is the full price? See the checklist.
