What London Borough of Hillingdon can do
Start with a free care needs assessment. It looks at what the person can and cannot manage and whether they meet the national eligibility criteria, whatever their savings. The assessment in Hillingdon, step by step.
If the council funds care, you can take its share as a direct payment and choose a provider with the specialism you need. Attendance Allowance is not means-tested. How care is paid for in Hillingdon.
How to choose
Registration only shows a provider has declared this specialism to the regulator. It says nothing about staff experience, so ask: how many people with similar needs do you support now? What training do your carers get? Will we see the same few faces? What happens when someone becomes upset or says no? Finally, read the inspection report in full.
Questions worth adding:
- What dementia training do staff have, and how often is it refreshed?
- How will you keep the family involved as needs change?
- How do you get to know the person (life story, routines, likes and dislikes)?

What are the first steps after a diagnosis of dementia?
