Elderly care: what it means

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.

Questions worth asking about elderly care

  1. Will the same small team of carers or staff look after them?
  2. What activities and company do you offer, not just personal care?
  3. How do you manage medication, and who checks it?
  4. How is the care plan written and how often is it reviewed with the family?
  5. What happens at weekends, at night and in an emergency?

Can East Sussex council help pay for home care?

Possibly. Under the Care Act 2014, East Sussex council has a duty to assess, free of charge, anyone who seems to need care and support. After a means test, the council may pay towards care when savings and investments total less than £23,250, depending on income; your home's value is ignored for care at home. Attendance Allowance does not depend on savings or income. Contacting East Sussex council.
