Introduction Welcome to this edition of the independent Kent Care Services Directory, which contains information for adults looking for care or support within the county, whether they are paying for it themselves or receiving support from the council. Staying as independent as possible is important to everybody. This Directory contains information about the care and support services available to enable you to do this when remaining at home, moving into housing with care when you need to, or within a care home or care home with nursing. If you think you have any care and support needs, you can contact Kent County Council to ask for an assessment. The assessment is a discussion between you (or your carer, if it’s their assessment) and a trained person, either from the council or another organisation that the council works with, where you will talk about your situation and what changes you would like to make in your life. The council will use the assessment to find out how your needs could be met. The assessment will also determine whether you are eligible for financial support via a Personal Budget, which allows you to buy in your own support and take control of your situation. Often called ‘personalisation’, this model of social care puts you at the centre of the process. It is discussed on page 15. Alternatively, your circumstances may mean you are classed as a ‘self-funder’, with the means to pay for your care. This is discussed on page 28 for those paying for care at home and 56 for those paying for residential care. You will find information on any benefits available to you on page 28. You may also be able to get support from voluntary agencies in your local community. Support or care to remain living in your own home may suit your circumstances. Things

Dover

you can do to make life easier at home, what is available and how you can access it are explained on pages 11 to 14. A list of local home care providers begins on page 31. Useful checklists featuring questions to ask providers are included too. The home care checklist is on page 27, another addressing care homes is on page 50 while one covering residential dementia care is on page 54. Comprehensive lists of care homes and care homes with nursing in Kent start on page 63. There is also important information about care decisions, making a comment or complaint about a service and how solicitors can help you, starting on page 58.

This Directory’s helpline 0800 389 2077 – information on choosing and paying for care

This Directory’s free helpline provides an independent information and help service encompassing care and accommodation. A personalised report can be generated for you providing details of all home care providers, care homes or care homes with nursing that meet your criteria. One call to the freephone number 0800 389 2077 will enable the service to build a profile of exactly what type of care you’re looking for, while taking into account your personal needs and interests. The website www.carechoices.co.uk

allows you to search by postcode or region for care homes, care homes with nursing and home care providers that meet your requirements across the country. Your search can then be saved and emailed to others. You can also view an e-book of this Directory on the site, which enables you to read it in large print or have it read to you by using the ‘Browsealoud’ function. Whatever your care needs, this Directory, the Care Choices helpline and the website will be able to point you in the best direction, however you would like care information presented.

The local authority’s role Kent County Council (KCC) has a responsibility to support people with specific needs to live independent and fulfilled lives safely in their local community. We do this by providing information, advice and guidance as well as support and services. We offer support to the following groups of people who are over 18: • people with physical disabilities; • people with sensory disabilities; • people with learning disabilities; • older people; • people who provide care and support to friends or family; and • people supported by Children’s Social Services who are approaching 18 years old and may require support from Adult Social Care. You might come into contact with Adult Social Care because:

• you are finding everyday activities difficult to manage due to age, disability or ill health; • you are in hospital and have been assessed as needing adult social care to support your recovery at home; • you are moving on from children’s social care and your care manager is arranging your support; or • your doctor has referred you. Once you have been referred or contacted us yourself, and you agree, we can complete a needs assessment. Once the assessment is completed we will work out if you are eligible for support from us. We do this by using guidelines and rules set by the Government. These rules are called ‘eligibility criteria’. If we are able to provide support to you, we will discuss the options available. These may include:

THE NEW VOICE OF CARE IN KENT With the health and social care sectors undergoing considerable change, three Kent care associations have merged to form KiCA - Kent Integrated Care Association. The KMCA, KCCA and KCHA will now operate as a single entity, with a Board comprising a good representation of both care home and community care providers. As an independent organisation, KiCA is well placed to engage with local authorities, commissioners, regulators and stakeholders, at a strategic level to influence policy

on how care is sourced and delivered in Kent. Ann Taylor, Chairman of KiCA said "With legislation leading a more integrated approach to the provision of health and social care, it was felt that all providers would be better served by a single representative association that recognises the opportunities and challenges implicit in a market undergoing significant reform."

R A I S I N G S TA N D A R D S O F C A R E I N K E N T KiCA Members is 200+ strong and are committed to the delivery of high standards of care, to give a better outcome to those receiving care and support at home, or in a care home. Workforce development and improved pay and conditions will play an important role here. KiCA will look to deliver a Charter that encompasses the values of those in our members care.

C H O O S I N G T H E R I G H T CA R E A N D S U P P O RT You will find a broad spectrum of care providers listed within this directory. Sometimes the language used by care providers can be confusing. Many people will have had little or no experience of finding care for themselves or a loved one, and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what questions to ask. All KiCA members are committed to clearly explaining how everything works and will answer any questions you might have clearly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to ask for written confirmation of what you have discussed so you can refer back to this.

The new KiCA website will act as a support tool for the work being carried out by the association ensuring stakeholders are updated on the work being undertaken. This will help manage the engagement within the sector focusing on offering high quality care for those in need. More can be found at www.kica.care this will be updated regularly with insightful details on where we are operating with relation to people and providers of Kent.

• information and advice; • equipment to help you stay safe at home, such as grab rails and bathing equipment; • short-term intensive support in your home called ‘enablement’; • activities during the day; • support for carers; or • short breaks (called ‘respite’) for you or someone who cares for you.

If we cannot support you, we will provide advice and information about organisations that may be able to assist you. How to contact us Tel: 03000 416161 Text relay service: 18001 03000 416161 Email: social.services@kent.gov.uk Web: www.kent.gov.uk/careandsupport

Day care centres THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND

Day care centres can help to alleviate loneliness and promote wellbeing and independence by providing regular social contact and a focus for activities. Centres give people the chance to have a change to their routine, meet new people, take up an activity or receive specialist services such as chiropody or hairdressing. There is a wide variety around the county, catering for older people, people with mental health conditions, learning disabilities and dementia. Day care centres can be as important for carers as those attending as they allow for a regular break from caring. To find out more about what is available locally, visit the Kent County Council website www.kent.gov.uk and type ‘day centres’ into the search box.

Adapting your home To remain in your own home for as long as you would like you should ensure that it is safe, secure and warm. Some forward planning to ensure that the garden doesn’t become a burden is also sensible. If you are not planning to move, think about adaptations that would make life easier now and later on.

Home Improvement Agencies (HIAs) HIAs are local organisations funded and supported by local and central government. They pride themselves in working professionally and sensitively with older and disabled homeowners, providing advice, support and assistance to help them repair, improve, maintain or adapt their home to meet their changing needs. Most HIAs provide three main services: • information and advice on repairs or adaptations you may be considering. This usually entails a visit to your home and is often free; • a handyperson service for small jobs and repairs. Typically the HIA will employ its own handypersons, and charge you an hourly rate for their services; and

• a home adaptations service for more major works. The HIA will work with you to specify the adaptations needed, and they will normally offer to get estimates from one or more of their regular contractors. Subject to your acceptance, the HIA will then offer to manage the works contract for you for an agreed fee. HIAs may also be helpful if you are not sure whether you can afford the home repairs or adaptations you need. They can advise on your eligibility for any grants and, if necessary, put you in touch with an independent financial adviser. For further information about, and contact details for, local HIAs, visit www.housingcare.org

Simple electronic aids can be borrowed from them for free for up to two weeks, including: gadgets which remind you of things you need to do; safety alarms and sensors; magnifiers; and telephones with big buttons.

Telecare Telecare is equipment that can detect falls, inactivity, smoke, flooding, gas or extreme temperatures in the home. Sensors, when activated, will connect to a response centre where trained operators will contact the individual through their home unit. They will take the most appropriate action, such as contacting a nominated responder, family member, carer, neighbour, doctor or the emergency services. Telecare can allow users to regain confidence in their homes and remain independent. Relatives and carers are also reassured, safe in the knowledge that should an incident occur, they will know about it. Some devices (known as telehealth) can also help monitor

particular health conditions and reduce the need for hospital admission. You can buy telecare and assistive technology from private companies and organisations or, if you’re eligible through an assessment (see below), Kent County Council may be able to provide it for you.

needs, the next stage is to determine what services you may be eligible for and who will pay for them.

Personal Budgets If you are eligible for support from the council, you may be given a Personal Budget. A Personal Budget is the amount of money that the council allocates to eligible people to help fund their care and support. The amount you receive will depend on your eligible needs. The money should be spent in line with a support plan that has been agreed by both you and the council and can be either a full or a partial contribution to such costs. You may also choose to pay for additional support on top of the budget. Any eventual contractual agreement for services is between you and your care provider, not the council.

Personal Budgets cannot currently be used to pay for residential care. Information on paying for care can be found on page 28 if you are receiving home care and page 56 if you are moving into a care home. Managing a Direct Payment If you are eligible for financial support from the council you can choose to have a Direct Payment. Having a Direct Payment gives you choice and control over how you organise, buy and manage your care and support. It must be used to buy services that you are assessed as needing. In Kent, your Direct Payment can be paid to you via a Kent Card, which works like a debit card. Alternatively, you can open a bank account just for your Direct Payment to be paid into. For more information, contact the Direct Payment support team on 03000 413600 or visit www.kentdp.co.uk

Assessments from hospital

Depending on the local authority’s policies, a Personal Budget may be taken by an eligible person: • in the form of a Direct (cash) Payment, held directly by you or, where you lack capacity, by a ‘suitable person’; or • by way of an account held and managed by the council in line with your wishes, or as an account placed with a third party (provider) and accessed by you in direct negotiation with the provider; or • as a mixture of the above.

If you have been admitted to hospital and you might need care on discharge you may be referred to the discharge team for an assessment, which will take place on the ward. The team is likely to be made up of social workers, carers’ officers, mental health workers and housing officers. Whatever services you need on discharge, Kent County Council will work with you, your family and carers to either restart services already in place prior to admission or to provide the appropriate services. Sometimes interim care packages are set up to facilitate your discharge and you will be reassessed by a community social worker within four to six weeks.

Reablement Reablement is an intensive short-term service that helps people regain skills and confidence, for example, after a fall or hospital stay. You will need to have an assessment of your care needs to decide if you are eligible. If you are eligible, a reablement worker will support you for a limited period. Reablement helps people to learn or re-learn daily living skills. It is not about doing things for you, it’s about giving you the skills and confidence to do things for yourself. It can also mean that you do not start to depend on support that could cost you money. For example, a reablement worker could help you regain your confidence following a fall, or provide support that enables you to prepare a meal if there has been a change in circumstances that means you need to cook. Through reablement, they may also identify pieces of equipment that could support you to regain or maintain your independence for a long as you can.

Intermediate care Intermediate care aims to give recovery and rehabilitation support to help people regain their independence when they come out of hospital or, just as importantly, prevent them going unnecessarily into hospital. Intermediate care can be provided in your own home or in a care home, depending on the local policy and your specific needs. It can be provided by care staff, occupational therapy and physiotherapy, with additional support provided by the local GP surgery, social workers and community nurses. This combined resource helps people to regain their independence and feel confident in their ability to manage for themselves with any necessary additional support.

NHS Continuing Healthcare NHS Continuing Healthcare is a package of continuing care that is arranged and funded solely by the NHS. This is free of charge, wherever it is delivered. NHS Continuing Healthcare support may be provided in a nursing or residential care home or in a person’s own home. People eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare will have been assessed to have a ‘primary health need’ and are likely to have complex medical needs and substantial or intense ongoing care needs.

Personal health budgets A personal health budget is an amount of money to support a person’s identified health needs, planned and agreed between the person and their local NHS team. The aim is to enable people with long-term conditions and disabilities to have greater choice, flexibility and control over the healthcare and support they receive. The NHS Choices website can be a good source of general information on these subjects, visit www.nhs.uk

Services for carers Who is a carer? A carer provides unpaid support to someone who wouldn’t be able to manage everyday life without their help. They don’t have to be living with the person they care for, and the help they give doesn’t have to be physical. They may be caring for a partner, another relative, a friend or a neighbour. For example, it may be someone who: • is an older person (over 60); • is living with dementia; • has a physical disability, learning disability, or mental health condition; • has sight, hearing or communication difficulties; • has a long-term health condition; or • misuses drugs or alcohol. They may be helping with: • personal care, such as washing and dressing; • getting about at home or outside; • practical help at home, keeping them company; or • emotional support or communicating.

Having a carer’s assessment Anyone who provides, or intends to provide, regular unpaid support to someone who could not manage without their help has a right to have their own needs assessed, even if the person they care for has refused support services or an assessment of their own needs. A carer’s assessment is an opportunity for people to tell the council what they need as a carer, and to find out what support might be available. The assessment is an essential first step for carers to get the support they may need. It looks at the care the carer

provides and how their caring responsibilities affect their life as well as what support could help. The assessment can also give lots of information about other services that might help, and other ideas for support. The carer’s assessment will show if the carer qualifies for support services from Adult Social Care. Visit www.kent.gov.uk/caringforothers for more information. Carers do not need to have a financial assessment but may be asked about the impact of the cost of caring on their lives. Carers’ Direct Payments The carer’s Direct Payment is a single payment that can be used towards the cost of something that will support carers in their role. For example, it could be used for leisure activities, education or training, or just to take a short break from caring. The amount a carer could get depends on their needs identified by their carer’s assessment. The money is not taxed and it will not affect any benefits. Visit www.kent.gov.uk/caringforothers for more information.

Respite at home Home-based respite services give carers a break from their caring responsibilities. A care worker would come in to look after the person being cared for, so the carer can have some time to themselves. The breaks could be regular or just when needed. Respite at home is considered to be a service for the person being cared for. If they have a Personal Budget or Direct Payment for their own needs (see page 16) they could use that money to pay for it. A financial assessment of the person being cared for will confirm whether they need to pay towards the cost of this service.

Care in your own home Carefully chosen home care, with a good quality provider, is an excellent way to retain your freedom and independence, whilst getting the help you need to stay happy and safe. It can offer the opportunity to stay at home, in your own familiar surroundings, and to retain a quality of life you might have feared lost.

debilitating medical conditions can get skilled personal care that can enable them to stay in their own home. Some agencies will provide live-in care, where a care worker will stay with you at home to support you throughout the day and night.

Why choose home care?

As Publisher of this Directory, Care Choices’ website www.carechoices.co.uk allows you to search by postcode or region for care homes, care homes with nursing and home care providers that meet your requirements across the country. Your search can then be saved and emailed to others.

Reasons for choosing home care can vary. Sometimes after a stay in hospital, someone might find they need some help whilst they recuperate. Others can find that a long-term condition or disability means they can no longer cope and they need a bit of help. After a stay in hospital someone may carry out an assessment of your situation to see if home care will benefit you. You, and your family if you like, will be fully involved in looking at what will suit you best. Alternatively, you or those close to you might notice changes in your ability to manage the day-to-day things you normally cope with easily, like preparing meals or looking after yourself. If this happens, you can approach a home care agency for support. Councils have a duty to carry out a care needs assessment for anyone who appears to have social care and support needs. The assessment will equip you with information that will be invaluable in finding the right help. Alternatively, a home care agency will be able to assess you. Listings of home care agencies in Kent start on page 31.

How home care can help you The level of home care provided can be tailored to meet your needs – from a visit once a day to a much greater amount of support. Even those with quite significant and

Finding the right support

Alternatively, this Directory’s free helpline provides an independent information and help service encompassing care services and accommodation. A personalised report can be generated for callers, providing details of all care homes that meet their criteria. One call to the freephone number 0800 389 2077 will enable the service to build a profile of exactly what type of care you’re looking for, while taking into account your personal needs and interests. The United Kingdom Homecare Association (UKHCA) requires its members to comply with a code of practice. This code includes a commitment to treat customers with dignity and respect and operate at a level above the legal minimum required in legislation. Social care regulations do not apply to cleaners, handymen or gardeners. However, some home care agencies are increasingly providing staff who can help meet these needs too. The benefits of using a regulated agency include: • assessing your care needs and tailoring a plan to meet those needs;

Living with dementia at home If you are concerned about persistent forgetfulness or memory difficulties, it is important to consult a GP. They can undertake an initial examination and refer you to a memory clinic for further investigation if necessary. The various types of support available to you and your carer are likely to involve NHS services, Adult Social Care and voluntary agencies. Some examples of services and support to help people living with dementia include: • specialist day centres; • respite care or short breaks;

The more support you can give someone, the better life with dementia can be, especially in the early years. Focus on what the person can do, not what they cannot do, help with little errands or with cooking, listen to the person with dementia, and find out more about the condition. When someone has dementia, they need: • reassurance that they are still valued, and that their feelings matter; • freedom from as much external stress as possible; and

• assistive technology and community alarms;

• appropriate activities and stimulation to help them to remain alert and motivated for as long as possible.

• home care;

Dementia Friends

• meals at home; • community equipment; • extra care or sheltered housing; and • carers’ support groups.

Family support If you know someone who is worried about their memory, encourage them to visit their GP.

People with dementia sometimes need a helping hand to go about their daily lives and feel included in their community. Dementia Friends aims to help people understand dementia and the small things they can do to make a difference to people living with dementia – from helping someone find the right bus to spreading the word about dementia.

Ask to see a copy of their registration certificate. How long has the agency been operating? 1 2 3 How many care workers would the agency assign to care for you and would you see the same one every day?

Can you talk to them before deciding? 1 2 3 Care workers should be fully trained or be in ongoing training. Ask the agency about their policies on this. You will have a care plan drawn up by the agency which the carers will work to. Ask how often this plan will be reviewed by the agency.

Paying for care in your home Councils provide upfront information on how much people can expect to pay and how charges are worked out. This information should be made available when a needs assessment is carried out. Written confirmation of how the charge has been calculated must be provided after a financial assessment. Charges for care and support may vary depending on the type of support you need and your financial circumstances. The council calculates charges in accordance with national eligibility criteria set by the Government. This ensures people are only required to pay what they can afford, taking into account capital, savings, income and expenditure. Your financial assessment looks at your capital, savings and weekly income (including pensions and benefits). The council may also carry out a full benefit check and, if you want them to, assist you with claiming your full entitlement. See www.kent.gov.uk and search ‘paying for care’ for more information. Non-means tested care and support Care provided by the NHS is free; for example services provided by a community or district nurse. Intermediate care is also free. If you are in need of care or support, you may be eligible to claim Attendance Allowance (AA), Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payments (PIP). AA, DLA and PIP are non-means-tested benefits. Provided you are eligible, you can receive AA, DLA or PIP regardless of how much income or capital you have. AA and DLA are payable to people over the age of 65 and PIP to those aged 16 to 64. There are different rates that can be awarded, dependent on the level and type of help you need. These can be found at www.gov.uk Other ways to fund your care and support If you do not qualify for financial assistance

from Kent County Council, there are various ways in which you could consider paying for care and support. It is important that you seek independent financial advice when considering other funding options. There are independent financial advisers that focus specifically on care funding advice, often referred to as specialist care fees advisers. They are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and must follow a code of conduct and ethics and take shared responsibility for the suitability of any product they recommend. The Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA) aims to assist consumers and their families in finding trusted accredited financial advisers who understand financial needs in later life. Search its website www.societyoflaterlifeadvisers.co.uk to find a SOLLA-accredited independent financial adviser. The Money Advice Service is a free and impartial service set up by the Government. It offers free and unbiased advice. Tel: 0800 138 7777 Web: www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk Further information on paying for care can be found beginning on page 56.

Housing with care Housing with care combines independent living in a home with security of tenure, along with care services arranged according to need. Schemes may be run by housing associations, the local authority, voluntary organisations or private companies. Properties may be available for rent, mixed tenure or to purchase.

Supported Living Supported Living is a term generally used to describe situations in which people (often disabled adults) rent their home, and their personal care or support is arranged separately. This means they can change their support without having to move, or move and take the same support with them. People have greater security of tenure, and can claim a wider range of welfare benefits than in residential care. Supported Living can be delivered in a range of settings, including individual flats or houses, clusters of self-contained flats on the same site, shared accommodation, and extra care housing. The individual, a private landlord, a housing association, a local authority or a charity may own the property. Supported Living refers to the way in which accommodation and support are organised, rather than the amount of support. This will be tailored to individual need and can include access to support 24-hours a day if assessed as necessary, although many people do not require this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly with the use of assistive technology (discussed on page 15).

For further information, visit www.kent.gov.uk/supportedhousing

Shared Lives Shared Lives is a care service for adults with learning or physical disabilities and for older people. It is family-based care provided by individuals and families. Shared Lives carers are local people recruited and trained to make sure they have the right qualities to provide care and support.

Sheltered housing Sheltered (or retirement) housing is provided by local authority housing departments and housing associations for people who would like to remain independent but prefer the added security and reassurance of a scheme manager and an alarm call service. A scheme manager is either based at the site or visits regularly. Many sheltered housing schemes also have communal lounges, laundry facilities, lifts, door entry systems and specially-adapted facilities.

Extra care housing Extra care housing is similar to sheltered schemes, with self-contained accommodation together with some communal facilities. In an extra care scheme, instead of low-level support traditionally provided by wardens in sheltered schemes, higher levels of care and support are provided on-site by a designated team of care workers, who can be available 24-hours a day. Extra care allows you to retain your own tenancy and have care services delivered, ensuring that you are able to remain safely in your own self-contained accommodation.

Maidstone and Malling Tel: 03000 410333 South West Kent Tel: 03000 417222

Mental health Your GP should be your first point of contact if you need help with a mental health condition or you are concerned about your mental health. They may refer you to your local Community Mental Health team. These teams are made up of different professionals who will, with your permission, assess your mental health needs. They will then work with you to plan any support you may be assessed as needing.

For people looking to move out of their family home, there are a number of options that could be explored before considering residential care. You may want to have your own home with support arranged as necessary or you may want to look into a supported living scheme, explained on page 29. These options can give greater independence and choice. A good quality care home can also help to promote independence and can be a step towards more independent living for some people who may initially require more support.

Physical disability If you have a physical disability or a long-term illness, organisations in the independent and not-for-profit sectors may be able to signpost you to, or provide you with, a range of services to help you live as independently as possible. There are also services available to support your carer.

Sensory services If you are d/Deaf, blind, sight impaired or deafblind there are a number of organisations in Kent that may be able to offer you advice and support.

This Directory’s helpline 0800 389 2077 – information on choosing and paying for care

Hi Kent Hi Kent is a local registered charity for deaf and hard of hearing people. For more information on support in your local area, visit www.hikent.org.uk or call 01622 691151 or text 07795 951466.

Advocacy Advocates can give advice, support and information to people of any age. They help you to voice your concerns and guide you through difficult or challenging times. You should consider using the services of an advocate if you feel unsure or concerned when you are faced with making an important decision about your care. Advocates are not there to tell you what to do or to make your decisions for you, but to help you express your views and make your own decisions. For further information, see â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Useful local contactsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on page 125.

End of life care Although the subject of dying is often painful to contemplate, it is essential that you and your relatives discuss your wishes as you near the end of your life. Good planning for all your needs should mean that you can (if you choose) remain in your home or care home in your last days and not have to be admitted to hospital. When choosing a service you should consider its end of life care philosophy and policies. Enabling people to die in comfort and with dignity is a core part of providing care and the way care professionals approach the process will be incredibly important for you, your family and carers. The service should have an open approach to end of life care. It should initiate conversation with you and your family and work with your GP to ensure your needs and wishes are discussed and planned for. An end of life care plan should also be drawn up, as it is vital to establish your preferences and choices. You could use the Preferred Priorities for Care (PPC) document to help with outlining your wishes. The PPC document is designed to help you prepare for the future and gives you an opportunity to think about, talk about and write down your preferences and priorities for care at the end of life. It is also important to know that all health and social care staff must be trained in communication regarding end of life care and will be trained in assessing the needs of individuals and carers. It is worth asking care providers whether they are working towards The Gold Standards Framework. This can be used in various settings, for example hospitals and care homes, to improve the co-ordination and communication between different organisations involved in providing care for someone near the end of their life.

Care homes Residential care

There are two types of residential care home:

All care providers in the country must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). All services are inspected by the CQC, which reports on its findings and rates each home. These inspection reports and ratings are available at the home or from the CQC (www.cqc.org.uk). Before you decide whether to move into a residential home, you may want to contact the council for a needs assessment (see page 15).

Care homes (personal care only) If you are reasonably active, but would like greater security and care, a residential home offering only personal care may be the best option. Personal care includes bathing, feeding, dressing and help with moving but you may need to pay for it, depending on your needs and finances. See page 56 for more information on paying for your care or visit www.kent.gov.uk and search ‘paying for residential care’. Care homes with nursing A care home with nursing provides the same support as a care home but with 24-hour nursing staff on hand. If you think you may need nursing care in a home, you will need to be visited by a social worker or a care manager to work out what care you will need. This visit might be in your own home, or in hospital if you’ve been ill, or in a care home. You will be fully involved in planning your care needs. If, after a needs assessment, a care home

activity to start the day. Watching your favourite TV programmes or listening to the birds sing might bring a smile. Attending an exercise class might make you feel better. All of these can be defined as ‘activities’. They can provide a point of interest, fun and challenge to each day.

For further information on care homes and care homes with nursing, and how to find one to meet your needs, call this Directory’s independent helpline 0800 389 2077.

Lots of care homes now employ a dedicated activity co-ordinator. What they do and how they do it varies from one home to another. In the best homes they are fully integrated into the staff team, play a key part in developing care plans and ensure that all staff appreciate the part they play in delivering high-quality activity provision.

Activities in care homes The word ‘activity’ can imply many different things but in the context of a care home it should mean everything a resident does from when they wake up in the morning until they go to sleep at night. Choosing what colour cardigan to wear can be an enjoyable

Dementia in care homes Care homes and dementia A good care home will follow the concept of a person-centred approach to care for people with dementia. This means that the unique qualities and interests of each individual will be identified, understood and accounted for in any care planning. The person with dementia will have an assessment and an ongoing personalised care plan, agreed across health and social care. This should identify a named care co-ordinator and addresses their individual needs. They must also have the opportunity to discuss and make decisions, together with their carers, about the use of advance statements, advance decisions to refuse treatment, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Preferred Priorities of Care. For more information on these see page 58. It is important that care and support options are tailored to the needs of the individual. Make sure staff know the person you care for by providing life story books, telling staff about their likes and dislikes and providing belongings that bring comfort and have meaning for the person you care for.

Design and technology The design of a care home specialising in dementia needs to be based on small group living, preferably with accommodation on one level and with opportunities to go in and out of the building within a safe environment. Plenty of natural light and an easy way of finding oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way around the building and grounds are essential for minimising disorientation.

The website www.carechoices.co.uk allows you to search by postcode or region for care homes, care homes with nursing and home care providers that meet your requirements across the country. Your search can then be saved and emailed to others. You can also view an electronic version of this Directory on the site and have it read to you by using the ‘Browsealoud’ function.

Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) allow you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions about your personal welfare, including healthcare and consent to medical treatment, and/or your property and financial affairs. A LPA is only valid once registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. It allows a person of your choice to make decisions on your behalf at a time when you may be unable.

The Court of Protection can issue Orders directing the management of a person’s property and financial affairs if they are incapable of managing their own affairs and should they not have a LPA.

An ‘advance directive’ allows you to communicate your wishes in respect of future medical treatment but it is not legally binding. You may instead wish to make a living will, properly known as an ‘advance decision’, setting out treatment that you do not want to receive in specified circumstances, which would legally have to be followed, even if you die as a result.

national essential standards of quality and safety to have a simple and easy to use complaints procedure. If you are concerned about the care that you, a friend or a relative are receiving, it makes sense to speak to the manager of the service about your concerns before you take any further action. The problem may be resolved quite easily once they are made aware of it. However, if you need to make a formal complaint, you should initially contact the registered owners of the service. They have a duty to respond to any complaints made.

If you don’t have your own solicitor, ask family or friends for their recommendations. Contact several firms, explain your situation and ask for an estimate of cost and an idea of timescales involved. Many firms will make home visits if necessary and will adapt their communications to meet your needs. It’s important to find a solicitor who specialises in this area of the law. The Citizens Advice Bureau offers an advice service and will be able to recommend solicitors in your area.

If your complaint is about a breach of regulations, contact your local office of the Care Quality Commission (see below for more information about the CQC).

Making a complaint should not be made difficult for you and should not affect the standard of care that you receive, whether in your own home, a care home or care home with nursing. Care services are required under

All care providers must be registered under a system which brings adult social care, independent healthcare and the NHS under a single set of essential standards of quality and safety.

If your local authority has arranged and funded a place for you in a care home or has contributed to a home care service, another option is to complain to your social worker/care manager or the department’s designated complaints manager.

If you have been unable to resolve your complaint you can contact the Local Comments, compliments and Government Ombudsman on 0300 061 complaints 0614 and ask them to assist you.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) registers, inspects and reviews all adult social care and healthcare services in England in the public, private and voluntary sectors. This includes care homes, care homes with nursing, home care agencies and NHS services, amongst others. Inspectors carry out a mixture of announced and unannounced inspections looking at the quality and safety of the care provided. They look at whether the service is: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive to people’s needs, and Well-led. Inspection teams are led by an experienced CQC manager and often include experts in their field. The team may also include professional or clinical staff; Experts by Experience; people who use services; and carers. Following an inspection, each care home and home care agency is given a report of how it rates against national essential standards of quality and safety. The CQC has also started rating services as: Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement and Inadequate.

Out-of-county care You can choose a care home outside your home county. You may want to be closer to friends, family members or you may want to relocate to another part of the country. If your care home place is state-funded, speak to the local authority about who is responsible for your care fees, especially if you choose a care home in another region. Any home you choose must be suitable for your assessed needs and comply with the paying authority’s terms and conditions. You must seek further advice before making your decision. For information on care provision in Kent and other regions, contact this Directory’s helpline on freephone 0800 389 2077 with details of your requirements.

The Withens is a 33 bed care home with nursing, providing care to the elderly with general nursing or palliative care needs. The home is situated within the heart of the north Kent rural landscape although within easy distance of the multicultural and cosmopolitan town of Gravesend. This homely and idyllic care home is set in beautiful gardens where residents can enjoy life enhancing experiences. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and has been tastefully decorated and furnished to provide warmth and homeliness. Care and services are delivered in a caring and sensitive way by professionally trained, skilled and caring staff and the chef provides excellent home cooking with a choice of menu. A visit to this home is highly recommended.

Kesson House Care Centre is a homely environment designed to support residents at all stages of their journey with dementia, including early onset and dementia related diseases. At Kesson we encourage all our residents to live day to day at a pace that is led by them, enjoying and celebrating the various connections that happen every day. We encourage care amongst staff who value the choices that residents make, and then deliver on those choices. It’s a vision shared by everyone involved with delivering dementia care at Kesson Care Centre. Working together, striving to bring happiness to people’s lives, and helping them to make the most of their everyday lives. Kesson House Care Centre can support 38 residents over two floors and a separate annex. All areas have their own bathing and toilet facilities, clinic, lounges, dining area and nursing station. Rooms are based around distinctive coloured corridors. A sensory garden extends our dementia care vision and further helps our residents with memory loss to live a more active and stimulating lifestyle – itself a recognised approach to combating the effects of declining cognitive ability. A visit is a must.

Bethany Lodge & Bethany house Specialist care for young people with disabilities

Bethany Lodge & Bethany House are specialist homes for young adults who have a physical disability. Each home is registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide Nursing & Residential Care. Bethany Lodge is a purpose built unit. It was opened in 1992 and had 24 single rooms all of which are on the ground floor. Bethany House was opened in 1997 having been purpose designed and built for clients with disabilities. There are 15 single rooms all of which are en-suite with their own toilet, washbasin and shower. Bethany Lodge & Bethany House are located on the southern coast of Kent at Dymchurch. The sea, the town and its amenities are a short walk away over level ground, making it ideal for wheelchair users. On-site facilities include: a hydro-therapy pool, multi-sensory room and a large arts and crafts room. The management of both homes places great emphasis on staff training and development, which helps maintain high standards of care for our clients through developing a learning environment for our staff. We have been recognised as an Investor in People (I.I.P) since 1998. If you would like to find out more about Bethany Lodge & Bethany House please visit our website www.bethanylodge.co.uk or e-mail bethanylodge@btconnect.com We can be found at 35 Eastbridge Road, Dymchurch, Kent TN29 0PG Tel: 01303 872289 Fax: 01303 875351
