A Welcome from

Cornwall County Council Cornwall Partners In Care

The Department of Adult Social Care (DASC) is independent of the organisations listed in this useful Directory but is please to be associated with this 2007/8 edition and, as always, we will distribute it widely.

We offer a Community Care assessment to anybody, whether or not they pay for their service privately, to help them access services, information and support. We are also keen that we assess the needs of carers whether or not the people they are caring for are receiving a service from us.

Most of the assessments for support with domiciliary care are carried out by our Case Co-ordinators. More complex assessments are carried our by our Qualified Social Workers and Occupational Therapists (OTs) Our assessments seek to be holistic and are often undertaken with our health service colleagues. Rapid Assessment Teams (RATs), consisting of Health and DASC staff, help avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and t promote independence.

To help us determine a person’s eligibility for help from us we us a framework called Fair Access to Care Services (FACS).

This is a government requirement. Service users need’s are assessed and banded using the framework, to determine whether their needs are critical, substantial, moderate or low.

Currently , April 2007, we are not able to provide services to those people who been assessed as having needs that are in the low and moderate bands. Before this decision was made by the County Council extensive consultation took place with a wide range of individuals and groups This decision had to be made as a result of financial pressures. However we will endeavour to help people to find other ways of meeting their needs by redirecting them to other organisations, by helping them use their own resources or by giving them advice. We offer a service to promote independence to the widest group of people on Cornwall whilst ensuring the proper use of the department’s resources.

If you have concerns about FACS please talk to your Adult Social Care worker.

If you want to know more about the services we provide please see our advertisement on page 16.

Carol Tozer, Director of Adult Social Care

Cornwall Partners in Care (CPIC) has been set up to represent all voluntary and independent care providers in Cornwall.

Recently formed with assistance from European funding it has for the first time created a sector voice for the County. In a climate of reduced financial support from the Department of Adult Social Care we will be working to • Promote quality of service • Maintain diversity of provision and choice • Bring affordable and accessible training to those working in care • Increase public and political awareness of the needs of service users in Cornwall • Draw funding into the sector There is much concern felt for those in need of care and relatives and friends who support them. Cornwall Partners in Care will address these concerns as it works in partnership with the Local Authority and Health to ensure effective use of resources.

As changes in the commissioning of social care unfold, Cornwall Partners in Care will be engaging and negotiating with The Department of Adult Social Care and the The Primary Care Trust to ensure continuity of services across Cornwall and to provide a voice and support for voluntary and independent care providers.

Cornwall Registered Homes Action Cornwall Association of Registered Group (CRHAG) Care Homes (CARCH) CRHAG is part of a wider coalition of Cornish care providers, Cornwall Partners In Care (CPIC). CRHAG works with the Department of Adult Social Care (DASC) in maintaining and supporting high standards of care. We exist to provide a single voice for the care home sector, and our residents, in this work.

The Challenges facing the sector today are sadly all about finance. Over 60 percent of care home residents are financed by the local authority who, because of their financial constraints, have enforced a minimum fee which is below the operating costs of a quality home. This means that care homes have to secure the shortfall in income from two sources: either by asking families or charities to ‘top up’ the fee for each state funded resident; or to ‘cross-subsidise’ by charging much higher fees to those who pay for themselves.

DASC can no longer pay for all the care needs experienced by the many service users who remain in their own homes, and are looking to find other ways of providing support.

This budgetary constraint affects their ability to pay for care home places adequately. However, its not all bad news. The partnership working between care providers and DASC means that we understand each other’s constraints, constantly working together to find creative ways of supporting the services we provide so that they are among the best in the country.

CRHAG also lobbies central government and the opposition parties to invest more in care, so that government spending priorities cease to place vulnerable people’s needs at the bottom of their agenda. We believe that moving to a quality care home should be a positive choice; staying at home is the best option only if you have the health and support to feel safe. Many people discover a new lease of life with the freedom from the fear of loneliness and isolation, good nutrition and the warm and friendly environment found in today’s care homes.

This is a body of professional care homeowner who are committed to providing a quality of life for their residents that is as close to home life as they would wish.

All members of CARCH must meet the standards required by the Commission for Social Care Inspection and their reports on Care Homes are available on request or through their website. I you are considering residential care, we recommend that you or relatives or friends visit a number of Homes to see which best meets your needs. You have the right to choose where you live and will wish to think about all the possibilities. Residential care can be a positive choice, enabliing you to retain both dignity and self-determination within your own capability and ensure a good quality of life.

You can have visitors when you like. You can also make new friends as well as inviting in your friends from the neighbourhood. You can pursue your interests as well as finding new ones. Help will always be available throughout the day and night from experienced trained staff. If you need financial help the Department of Adult Social Care will make an assessment of your needs but you will still have a choice of where you stay.

CARCH exists to assist with all aspects of care: elderly, mentally handicapped, mentally ill and nursing with each home specialising in different needs. All homes are encouraged to undertake the highest standards of care and commitment from their staff.

CRACH belongs to the National Care Association, which provides support and enables its members to keep in touch with national developments.The Association’s aims are: • To ensure the highest standards of care and accommodation in consultation with owners, residents relatives friends and staff.

Making a Decision Choosing to go into a home should be your decision.

You can only be forced to go into a home against your will in exceptional circumstances. These account for a small proportion of older people entering care homes.

Your needs may be such that it is no longer feasable to remain in your own home, even with a package of care and support services. There can also be postitve advantages to living in a care home which attract you to this option. The most important factor should be that your decision is an informed one.

Types of Care Home CSCI (Commission for Social Care Inspection) is responsible for the inspection and registration of care homes.

The term ‘care home’ covers any establishment providing accommodation with personal or nursing care.

Not all care homes are registered to provide nursing care. Some homes may have beds registered as providing accommodation and personal care and other beds registered for nursing care to be provided as well.

Specialist homes for older people with some kind of mental frailty are often called ‘EMI’ homes. ‘EMI’ generally stands for ‘Elderly Mentally Infirm’, or ‘Enderly Mentall Ill’. These homes specialise in care for older people with a mental illness or disorder - including dementia, although not all residents with dementia live in EMI homes.

Age Concern factsheet 29 “Finding care home accommodation” November 2006

I am considering a move to a care home: how can The Department of Adult Social Care (DASC) help?

If you do not need help with care home fees If you are confident that you will not need help with care home fees, wither now or for at least the next 3 years, you can arrange your move directly with the care home of your choice, with no involvement from the Department of Adult Social Care (DASC).

Nevertheless, if you think you would find it useful to discuss your situation with a specialist worker, please contact your local DASC office (listed in Useful Contacts, page 49), who will arrange for someone to visit you at home to go through all your options with you. If you are in hospital, the nursing staff will make the arrangements for you, with your permission, and you can be visited in hospital, or once you have returned home if that is more appropriate.

More information: Call Cornwall County Council on 01872 Strip2 15/5/07 11:59 Page 1 322532 and ask for ‘Assessing your needs’ leaflet, ref: ASC15

If you think you will need help with the fees If you think you will need help to meet the cost of a care home, either now or in the future, you (or someone acting on your behalf ) should contact your local DASC office (listed in Useful Contacts, page 49) If you are in hospital, the nursing staff will contact DASC for you, with your permission.

Once you have contacted us, we will arrange for someone, probably a social worker, to discuss your situation with you, and to help you decide whether a move to a care home is appropriate. During this discussion, you can always have the person who looks after you (your carer), a relative, or a friend to support you, if you wish.

More information: Call Cornwall County Council on 01872 322532 and ask for ‘Assessing your needs’ leaflet, ref: ASC15 If your assessment by DASC shows that moving into a care home is the most appropriate form of care for you, and that you will need help to pay the fees, it is likely that you will also be required to make a contribution to these fees.

To advise you on how much your contribution will be, trained staff carry out an assessment of your financial circumstances, which will take into account your income, capital and property you may own. All information is treated confidentially, and staff will explain the procedure to you, and answer any questions you may have.

If you take up a place in a care home with financial assistance from DASC, the suitability of your placement and te quality of care will be reviewed regularly by DASC staff, or someone working on our behalf.

If I am funded by The Department of Adult Social Care (DASC) do I have a choice of home?

Yes. Every effort will be made to offer you a place in the home of your choice. You can go into your preferred home as long as:-

• It is suitable for the needs identified in your assessment.

• There is a place for you in the home.

• The home accepts the standard DASC terms and conditions.

• The fees are appropriate to the level of care you need.

If you want to go into a home outside Cornwall to be near relatives or friends, you will still need to contact DASC in Cornwall, who would be responsible of sorting out the arrangements for you, including any help with your fees.

More information: Call Cornwall County Council on 01872 322532 and ask for ‘Moving to a Care Home’ leaflet, ref: ASC33

Questions To Ask When Choosing A Care Home

Everyone will have different views about what they think is a ‘good’ home, and each person’s needs will differ. Here are some questions to consider. Some may be more important to you than others: • does the home encourage residents to do as much as possible themselves and to make choices about as many aspects of their daily lives as they can?

• can residents bring personal possessions - pictures, plants, furniture?

• can the home meet the resident’s communication needs - for example, through a language other than English, or non-verbal method such as sign language or large print?

• do residents choose what and when to eat? How are

Can residents prepare any food and drinks themselves. are residents free to see visitors when and where they choose? Can visitors stay overnight at the home, if they have travelled long distances? can residents use a telephone in privacy, for incoming and outgoing calls? do residents rise and go to bed when they choose?

If not, do you consider the arrangements to be reasonable? what provisions does the home make for taking residents out - on outings, to the shops, to the theatre, place of worship, or entertainment. what physical activities are available for residents? is there more than one living room, so that there is a quiet room as well as one with a television?

ome care agencies (also known as domciliary care) are listed in this section district by district alphabetically, however most providers service an area larger than their district. For more information on a company please contact them directly.

The League of Carers (LOC) Help At Home The League of Carers was formed in August 2005 a voluntary organisation of independent sector providers of community care to the population of Cornwall.

LOC is a forum for all community care providers with an interest in the future and current development of care provision for Cornwall, working independently and at forum level within a wider coalition of Cornish care providers within the representation of Cornwall Partners In Care (CPIC).

Membership to The League of Carers is open to all independent sector providers of community care within Cornwall including the voluntary sector.

We aim to represent the interests of community care companies, proprietors and service users whilst promoting and developing best practice within the sector.

We aim to achieve the following: • To act as a unified voice for community care provision throughout Cornwall.

• To endeavour to affect and maintain high standards of care and conditions throughout.

• To keep abreast of developments in the domiciliary care sector in order to inform our members and advise where appropriate, to represent members interests in discussion to enhance service delivery to our service users.

• To liaise and work in partnership with local and central commissioners and registration/inspection staff to ensure good communication and understanding throughout the sector.

• To break through the barriers that can exist between public sector, voluntary sector and private sector providers of domiciliary care encouraging partnership working where able.

• To work towards establishing co-ordinated training opportunities where public money is used to maximum potential and advantage to both benefit service users and providers.

• To keep in contact with members through local meetings and information sharing sessions Christine Rowberry, Chairman, The League of Carers Strip2 15/5/07 11:59 Page 1

If you are having difficulty coping at home, due to old age and/or illness, there are an increasing number of services available to help you continue living safely and independently at home. Alternatively, after a stay in hospital you may require extra help when you go home, especially if you live on your own. The independent agencies listed offer help at home, either with housework, or with personal care such as washing, dressing and using the toilet.

Alternatively, Adult Social Care can arrange personal care for you, following an assessment of your circumstances. You may also be entitled to Direct Payments from Adult Social Care, see direct payments section page number 45 Adult Social Care and the NHS in Cornwall also have a range of schemes across the county specifically to help people whose health may have deteriorated, but who nevertheless wish to remain in their own homes. Some of the schemes include extra help from therapists in the community; help from trained workers to enable people to cope safely with daily living tasks; and care for people leaving hospital, who may not feel confident about returning home straightaway.

Finally, for short-term help at home, following discharge from hospital, the British Red Cross offer the ‘Home from Hospital’ scheme. They also offer support and practical help to people faced with an unexpected crisis caused for example by accident or illness. Contact 01872 272 878.

More information: Call Cornwall County Council on 01872 322532 and ask for ‘Services for Older People- to Help you remain independent in your own home’ leaflet, ref: ASC/29

Help for Carers

If you help someone with washing, eating, dressing, and medication collection and taking, you are a carer. Almost 6 million people in the UK are carers, however many don’t recognise that fact and don’t receive the support they are entitled to.

Carers UK are a charity set up to prevent carers from becoming emotionally drained, and from forgetting to take

care of themselves. The CareLine 0808 808 7777, provides help and advice for carers.

If you are a carer you may be entitled to Carers Allowance, and if you are means tested you may benefit from Carer Premium allowance. Practical help is also available, ask your county council for an assessment.

If you need a break, respite centres are available for short stays for the person you care for, or someone else can come and take over your caring duties temporarily, or permanently if desired.

By law Adult Social Care is required to offer carers assessments whether or not the cared for person is recieving a services from Adult Social Care. Adult Social Care may be able to advise you on practical solutions at home, for more information call 01872 322532 and ask for the leaflet ‘Do you look after a relative, friend or neighbour? Help for carers’.

Meal Provision

M

eal providers in Cornwall in this section are listed alphabetically. For provision in your area contact the provider directly. Many companies listed here provide a Meals-on-Wheels service beyond their local vicinity, please contact them directly for further details.

Meals At Home Appetising, healthy and nutritious meals are important, and if you are unable to prepare them yourself lunch clubs and day centres may provide meals (see Day Care). Another option is to have meals delivered to your door. Meals-onWheels providers are listed below, please contact them directly for availability in your area.

When organising a meals-on-wheels service you should check that: • Meals are of a high standard.

• They will be enough for you as a main meal each day, and have a pudding as well as a main course.

• You can ask for a special type of food because you are vegetarian, or have a special diet because of your health, or because of your religion, beliefs or culture.

It may be possible to have hot and frozen meals delivered.

Frozen meals can then be heated when necessary.

The Department of Adult Social Care does not deliver meals, has no control over the quality, and has no accredited provider list. Meal producers premises are monitored by Environmental Health.

Meals should be balanced and nutritious, as well as appetising and attractively presented. Protein, vitamins and minerals should be emphasised in the diets of older people.

Special dietary requirements related to health, culture and personal preference should be taken into account. This may involve providing, or buying in, specialised meals. Most needs can usually be catered for with careful planning and preparation. Identifying individuals’ needs before they start to receive meals is essential. Consultation is also important with the local community, for example, to find out if there is a need for provision for ethnic minority groups.

A meals on wheels service usually delivers food but does not serve it. Frozen meals can be delivered once a week for the week then heated daily by the older person or their carer.

For hot meals, deliveries will have to be phased daily, bearing in mind how long the food needs to be kept heated, and by what time the meals need to arrive. There may be a need for both types of meal – hot meals for people who cannot heat up frozen meals, and less expensive frozen meals for those who can.

Motability

B

y the mid 1970s most households in the country owned a car. But disabled people were missing out. As a result, many people were housebound for long periods and often dependent on others for their mobility.

Before the introduction of the Mobility Allowance in 1976, only disabled people who could drive themselves got any government help with personal transport. It was usually in the form of a small car provided to disabled couples, to people responsible for the sole care of a disabled child and to a category called “war disabled”. An allowance was paid to disabled people who actually owned a car. But most people were supplied with a small, blue, single-seat, three wheeled, motorised “invalid trike”, which was incapable of carrying passengers.

Today, The Motability Scheme enables disabled people to use their government funded mobility allowances to obtain a new car, powered wheelchair or scooter. Some 450,000 people currently use the Scheme and in 2006 Motability celebrated providing two million vehicles since it was set up by the government in 1977.

The Scheme is available to anyone who receives either of the following benefits, and has at least 12 months’ award length remaining when they apply: • Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance

• War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement.

Around two thirds of our customers drive, but nondrivers can get a car as a passenger. Similarly, parents and carers can apply on behalf of a child aged three or older.

Some customers need extra financial help to meet their mobility needs, for example, to help towards the cost of the advance payment for a suitable car, adaptations, driving lessons or perhaps a wheelchair accessible vehicle. Ever year Motability awards around £10 million in grants from both its own Charitable Fund and the Specialised Vehicle Fund which is administered on behalf of the government.

Customer Profile : Phil Jepson Phil, from Essex, has a scooter on the Motability Scheme and uses it daily to get out and about; going to the local shops, the doctors, visiting friends and going out on social occasions, such as visiting the pub. He is an amputee and lost the use of his left arm following a stroke eleven years ago.

Disability Cornwall

Disability Cornwall aims to be the voice of disabled people in Cornwall and challenges discrimination and inequalities and promote examples of good practice.

This is done through managing a portfolio of projects and services. We have developed partnerships to deliver services around access audits & advice and training in both DDA & Disability Equality, as well as Cornwall’s innovative Diversity Toolkit, which aims to help eliminate discrimination in the workplace along all six of the equality strands (race, disability, age, faith, gender & sexual orientation) In addition we provide consultancy services in connection with policy review and the provision of consumer audits or ‘mystery shoppers.’ We also facilitate Consulation Panels for service providers to gather views direct from our members who will then benefit from increased and better access to services.

We also produce Discover, Cornwall’s only disability aware lifestyle magazine and hold a high profile annual conference, as well as organising workshops and presentations according to need.

If dementia is diagnosed you have time to find out as Strip2 15/5/07 11:59 Page 1 much as you can so that you can be prepared for the changes

which may happen. In most cases it is best for the person with dementia to live at home with familiar surroundings for as long as possible.

Home care assistants can help provide personal care at home, such as dressing, bathing, and at meal times (see homecare agencies section). Meals-on-Wheels is available (see meals section). In house equipment and / or adaptations can be provided by The Department of Adult Social Care.

Learning Disabilities Included here is information about The Big Plan, Opportunities, listings for learning disability providers in Cornwall, learning disability homes in Cornwall, and Cornwall Advocacy.

The Big Plan

The Big Plan is a Cornwall County Council 3 year initiative about services for people with learning disabilities. The plan is to “Commission for Citizenship and Fulfilling Lives”, which means when services bought will help people live ordinary lives and have Right, Choices, Independence, Responsibilties.

• Rights • Choices • Independence • Responsibilites The Big Plan will be about Big Ideas and the Big Things that Vulnerable People say we must do. There are 8 Big Things to do in the Big Plan, each of which will have its own leader and its own smaller plans. All the plans will fit together to make a big map of how services will work better in future.

The 8 Big Things 1. Involving People. People with learning disabilities and family carers should be properly involved in decisions. As are the Learning Disability Partnership Board, planning and decision making groups.

2. Communication. Everyone should know about what is happening and that the information people get is easy to understand.

3. Health and Social Care Working Together. Health and

4.

Social Care should be making decisions together. Plans are needed for planning and spending money, staff training, and staff working together.

Choice and Control. People with learning disabilities need to have as much control and choice as they can in how they live their lives.

My Family. Family carers must get the support they need to carry on caring, this includes carer assessments, short breaks, and good planning for the future.

Where I Live. People should have choices about where they live and who they live with.

What I do? People must have choices about how they spend their time. Plans are needed for changing day care services, supporting people to employment, support in training and education, making leisure service open to everyone, and individual support.

My Health. People with learning disabilities must be able to get the same Health Services as everyone else, and have good specialist health services. Health action plans are needed including GP’s, Dentists, Hospitals, Mental Health Services, Community Teams.

Day Care

D

ay care has traditionally been provided in specialist day centres in the local community, on a long or short term basis. These centres provide services and activities to meet different people’s needs, often including meals and recreational activities.

Day Care Centres

For people who might otherwise never get out, a day care centre provides a safe and secure environment as an alternative. It is a place where people may socialise, take part in some activities (either individually or as part of a group), have a wholesome meal and relax. It is also a place where basic personal tasks which have become difficult for an individual to undertake alone (or even with the help of a carer) may be tackled.

Resources and the location of the day care centre will affect the kind of activities which are offered and whether special needs are catered for.

Day Care at Home

Day care at home can provide social activity for older people who do not want, or are not able, to go to a day care centre. Day care at home is where two or three older people, usually located in the same area, receive day care at one another’s houses.

Long/Short Term Day Care

A day care service should always be under review. The needs of individuals and the group change. There are different patterns of attendance: some people come daily, some only once or twice a week. Other users may come for short rehabilitative programmes lasting for a few weeks or months.

The day and the week should be organised to respond to each kind of need.

Long-term day care is probably most usual. If someone is socially isolated or becomes physically or mentally frail, they may be assessed as suitable and eligible for day care. It will continue to be available as the person becomes older until, for whatever reason, the need is no longer there.

Some types of day care are specialist and short-term; these often have a rehabilitative objective. For example, day care may be provided for people recovering from strokes, with activities designed to promote independence, as much mobility possible, 11:59 and developing Strip2 as 15/5/07 Page 1 self-confidence.

Assessment & Admissions

Each day care service should be sure that an individual meets the admission criteria. It is important for both the day care service and individuals that services are appropriate for users and vice versa. A mentally confused person, for example, might be better off in a specialist day centre, rather than a generic one.

Nursing Agencies

N

ursing Agencies in Cornwall are listed alphabetically in this section.

For more information about services in your area or about a particular agency please contact them directly.

Nursing Agencies

Nurses agencies send nurses to visit service users at home when they need specialist or medical care, usually after leaving hospital. The frequency of the visits can vary from several times a day to once a week.

About 95% of the nurses supplied by nurses agencies are provided to people in hospital or a care home. However, some nurses are provided to people in their own home.

CSCI website www.csci.org.uk 05/07

National Minimum Standards (NMS)

The National Minimum Standards are a set of guidelines to help providers, inspectors and service users understand the expected minimum level of service.

These guidelines are not enforceable by law, but providers should abide to them. They also give service users the ability to judge care providers to ensure the correct service is employed.

There are National Minimum Standards for care homes, adult placement schemes and nursing agencies. For nursing agencies this means: • The certificate of registration should be prominently displayed at the premises.

• A statement of Purpose should be available on request from an inspector or service user.

• A Service User Guide provides comprehensive and upto-date information about the agency and the services it provides. This information should include qualifications of staff, charges and payment methods, arrangements for cancellations, the complaints procedure and more.

• The manager has obtained nationally recognised qualifications, or is a registered nurse.

• All relevant checks have been completed on staff, including Health, Criminal Record and the Protection Of Vulnerable Adults list. These records should be kept.

• There is a written and formal induction process for new nurses. The agency will examine certificates for advanced knowledge or skills and that nurses are trained to work in the field they are assigned.

• All Information relating to service users is kept strictly confidential.

Sheltered Housing & Extra Care

S

heltered Housing (otherwise known as Retirement Housing) schemes in Cornwall are listed in this section, and Extra Care is stated in the listings, if available. It is likely that there will be a waiting list for rents and purchasing, so it is advisable to contact you preferred scheme early.

Sheltered Housing Sheltered housing is often called retirement housing or warden-assisted housing. There are many different types of sheltered or retirement housing schemes, both to rent and to buy. Schemes usually consist of between 15 and 40 dwellings which may be bedsitting rooms, self contained flats, bungalows or luxury apartments. Usually they are designed with older people in mind and to mobility standards, for wheelchair access for example.

Some schemes are simply housing designed to meet the needs of older people and linked to a community alarm.

But the majority of schemes have a Scheme Manager (or ‘Warden’) as well as a community alarm service. There are often communal facilities such as a lounge, laundry, guest flat and garden. Meals are not normally provided but a very few schemes include a restaurant, and quite a number arrange one hot meal a day.

There is usually a minimum age, often 60 or 55, but occasionally 50.

Sheltered or retirement housing appeals to people who like living independently but want the reassurance of knowing that assistance is on hand if there is an emergency, or who expect to be away from home for long periods and need to know their home is safe.

The duties of the Scheme Manager can vary considerably between schemes. Some schemes have a resident Manager and a 24 hour service, others have visiting or part time Managers.

Scheme Manager (Warden)

Over the last few years there have been many changes to the Scheme Manager’s duties. Most Scheme Managers are now expected to: • Manage the scheme • Summon help in an emergency.

• Build up a relationship with older people living in their schemes; giving residents information on availability and access to services and encouraging them to ask for additional support from statutory and voluntary Strip2 15/5/07 11:59 Page 1 organisations when appropriate.

42

Community alarms Offer reassurance that help is at hand if needed: • By pressing a button on a pendant or pulling a cord, a message is relayed to a monitoring centre, staffed 24 hours a day • If help is needed the centre will alert relatives or friends, or contact your doctor or the emergency services.

• Other facilities

• Schemes will usually offer all or some of the following: • Residents’ lounge.

• Guest room(s) or flat: extra accommodation for residents’ • •

visitors.

Laundry room.

Restaurant.

Extra Care

Extra Care Housing is housing designed with the needs of frailer older people in mind and with varying levels of care/support available on site. People who live in Extra Care Housing have their own self contained homes, their own front doors and a legal right to occupy the property. It is therefore very different from a care home where residents only have a licence to occupy a room. Extra Care Housing is also known as very sheltered housing, part two and a half, close care, assisted living and retirement villages. It is a popular choice among older people because it can sometimes provide an alternative to a care home.

Extra Care Housing can help older people remain independent for as long as possible by providing additional care and support. It can also be used as intermediate accommodation to help older people build up their daily living skills and confidence after a stay in hospital and before returning to their own homes.

Extra Care Housing can be rented, owned, part owned/ part rented or multi-tenure. The majority of properties are rented and are in schemes managed by Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) or local authorities.

The information in this section is taken from the EAC’s publication

the ‘Cornwall Report’, this contains a broad spectrum of information and advice regarding Sheltered Housing and Extra Care.

The Abbeyfield Society

Renting Most Housing for rent is provided by local councils or nonprofit making housing associations (often called Registered Social Landlords or RSL’s). Local councils and RSL’s generally aim to offer their housing to people in the greatest housing need, at rents which are affordable - perhaps with the help of housing benefits.

The Criteria that applicants are generally expected to show include: • some degree of housing need because of the physical condition of their present home; or • medical and/or social reasons for wanting to move, e.g. poor health, disabilities, loneliness, fear or isolation from friends & family; and • that they are not easily able, for whatever reason, to buy rather than rent; and • that (if they are not local already) they have good reason for wanting to move to the area they apply for.

In most parts of the country councils and RSL’s recieve applications from more people than they can assist.

The cost of renting will be made up of a rent plus service a charge to cover the services provided. Service Charges in the majority of ordinary sheltered or retirement schemes the charge is in the range of £20 to £40 a week.

People who wanting to rent sheltered housing and who have a low income should contact local authority to check their eligibility for housing benefit.

• They will listen to what you say about the service you want, and do their best to provide it.

• They will make sure the services you get are what you need.

• They will review the services you receive at least every 6 months. This will help make sure they are still right for you.

• They will keep your details confidential, and only share them with other people who need to work with you.

• If you have to wait for a service, they will tell you when you can have it.

‘Charter for People with Care Needs in Cornwall - Better care, Higher Standards’ 2005

Assessing Your Need

Anyone who feels that they may require help from Adult Social Care can ask for an assessment. An assessment means that someone from Adult Social Care will visit you, usually at home or in hospital, to discuss your situation, and to work out with you what help would be appropriate to meet your needs.

Cornwall’s Department of Adult Social Care use eligibility criteria laid down by the Government to assess people wishing to receive services. This assessment process is called Fair Access to Care Services (FACS), and its aim is to focus services on those people in greatest need.

When your needs are assessed, the Department considers the following areas, which are seen as central to maintaining your safety, well-being and independence: • Your ability to make choices • Your health and safety • Your management of daily routines • Your involvement in family and community life • Strip2 Your carers’ circumstances 15/5/07 11:59 Page 1

Should I ask for an assessment?

Adult Social Care will assess your need for services if you are an adult with:• physical disability, or a long-term illness • sight or hearing loss • learning disability • mental health problem Or if you are:• an older person and frail • a carer You can ask a friend, relative or your GP to contact us on your behalf if you are in hospital, the nursing staff can arrange for Adult Social Care to contact you, either during your stay in hospital, or on your return home.

More information: Call Cornwall County Council on 01872 322532 and ask for ‘Assessing Your Needs’ leaflet, ref: ASC14

Fair Access to Care Services (FACS)

Fair Access to Care Services is a government framework for setting eligibility criteria for adult social care. The framework is based on service users’ and carers’ needs using the Assessment of Needs Framework as being Critical, Substantial, Moderate or Low. Currently Cornwall County Council is not able to provide services to those people who have been assessed as having needs in the low or moderate band. However people will be referred or re-directed to appropriate organisations. The band of care is determined in the assessment.

More information: Call Cornwall County Council on 01872 322532 and ask for ‘Assessing your needs - Fair Access to Care Services’ ref: ASC/14

Direct Payments Scheme

Direct Payments are regular monthly payments from the County Council to enable you to employ your own staff for your personal care, instead of receiving help arranged by the County Council. In Cornwall this used to be arranged by the The Department of Adult Social Care whose work is now split between the Department of Adult Social Care and the

M O V I N G I N T O A C A R E H O M E – A D V I C E A N D I N F O R M AT I O N

0800 99 88 33

45

Department for Children, Young People and Families.

Anyone can ask for Direct Payments, once they have completed an assessment, and that assessment confirms that they need services. It is then up to the service user’s Care Manager to decide whether to make Direct Payments available or not. In making this decision, the Care Manager must consider if the service user’s needs are best met by Direct Payments, and if there are sufficient resources available.

Where Direct Payments are not offered, the reason for this will be clearly be explained. People who may receive Direct Payments include people with a physical disability, older people, people with a learning disability, people with mental health needs and children with a disability.

More information: Call Cornwall County Council on 01872 322532 and ask for ‘Direct Payment Scheme’ leaflet, ref: ASC15

Compliments, Comments and Complaints

Care Providers need to know what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong. You should feel able to express your views and if necessary voice complaints about the services you have or are receiving.

There is a legal requirement for providers to comply with the National Minimum Standards which means a simple and accessible complaints procedure. Ask your care provider for more details.

To compliment, Comment or complain about care provided by the Adult Social Care you can email asc. complaints@cornwall.gov.uk, or call 01872 322 316 and ask for the complaints manager.

If you wish to complain about a service arranged by Adult Social Care but provided by another agency, for example residential care, personal care or meals at home, you should initially speak to the agency directly.

However, if you do not receive a satisfactory response, Adult Social Care will look into the complaint on your behalf.

More information: Call Cornwall County Council on 01872 322532 and ask for ‘How to make a comment, compliment or complaint’ leaflet, ref: ASC19 Contact the Complaints Manager by phone on 01872 322655, or write to the Complaints Manager at Department of Adult Social Care, FREEPOST, Truro, TR1 3ZZ or email at asc.complaints@ cornwall.gov.uk

Moving into a Care Home ...Who Pays for What?

When moving a loved one into a care home, fully understanding what the state provides and being certain about costs and affordability is essential for all involved. The present system of paying for care is rife with inconsistencies in the rules determining who pays for what leaving people ill prepared for what to expect and clearly missing out on funding or support they could get if they were in the know.

Unravelling who pays or who is responsible can cut much of this stress and here we try to do that.

Who qualifies for local authority assistance?

If you have been assessed as needing a care home place and your capital is below £21,500 you should be entitled to financial support from your local authority. If you have capital below £13,000 you will be entitled to maximum support contributing your income less £20.45 retained for personal expenses. If you have capital between £13,000 and £21,500 you will also pay a capital tariff of £1 per week for each £250 between these two figures.

Capital includes the value of your former home unless it’s occupied by your partner, a relative who is aged over 60 years or incapacitated, a child under 16 years who you maintain or a separated partner who is a lone parent.

The State is paying do I have a choice of home?

Yes and it can even be in a different county. The home you choose must be suitable for your assessed needs, comply with any terms and conditions set by the authority and, not cost any more than they would usually pay for someone with your needs.

What if the home costs more than the local authority is prepared to pay for?

The local authority will allow a third party to top-up the care fees as long as they are able to do so over the long term.

You are not allowed to top up the fees yourself from capital below £21,500.

What happens if I move into a care independently and run out of money?

Once your capital reduces to £21,500 you can seek local authority assistance. However, if the home costs more than the local authority usually pays and won’t reduce its fees you could be in the difficult situation of either finding a source of top-up, or, which could be detrimental to health and well being, cheaper accommodation. If running out of money is likely you should arrange to have an assessment from your local social services department to make sure they will step into help and check if the care home owner can continue to accommodate you at11:59 social services Strip2 15/5/07 Page 1 funding rates.

Do I have to sell my property?

No, the social services can lend you the money to pay for your care charged against your property value. However, they may limit how much they will pay and it could adversely affect your welfare benefit entitlements.

Is there any non means tested financial help I can claim?

Attendance Allowance is a non-means tested, nontaxable DWP benefit paid weekly at the lower rate of £43.15 if care is needed by day or night and the higher rate of £64.50 if needed by day and night. Saving up to £3,354 pa. Also, whether your stay is temporary or permanent if you receive nursing care in a care home you may be entitled to an NHS Nursing Care Contribution towards registered nurse time costs. There are three dependency bands. Low paying £40 per week, moderate £87 per week and high £139 per week. If you need primarily health care, you may be entitled to full funding from your local Primary Care Trust under their continuing care eligibility criteria. Saving up to the full cost of care.

The above applies to England only. Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland pay different amounts.

Do I pay Council Tax on empty property?

If on moving into a care home a property is left empty then it should receive full exemption from Council Tax until it’s sold. Saving your Council Tax. My partner needs care, how does this effect me?

The local authority only has the right to financially assess the member of a couple that requires the care. Individuals, who are paying for their accommodation from joint savings with a partner at home, should split joint accounts into separate single accounts drawing the care home fees from the account of the person in care only. Thus ensuring state assistance arrives earlier than if drawing on joint capital.

Saving your partner’s savings.

Families should be encouraged to seek advice. Funding long-term care is a complex area and, as the OFT and others have reported, advice and information at this difficult time is not readily available. Even when you might think all is sorted out, circumstances can change and so does the funding.

Do not try to do it alone, seek advice. NHFA Ltd specialize in this and through their local advisers will ensure you fully understand your entitlements from the state and the options available to best meet care costs whilst also preserving capital and savings as far as possible. Further advice and information, including NHFA’s Free Long Term Care Guide can be obtained by calling NHFA’s Care Advice Line on 0800 99 88 33 or visit their website www.nhfa.co.uk Further information is available from Philip Spiers, Managing Director, or Paul Loom, Care Advice Line Manager, on 01865 733000.

Third Party Top-Ups

Choice is a fundamental principle of social care (although not for fully funded NHS care), and the starting point should be that a potential care-home resident should live in the accommodation of his or her choice.

However, with the current funding limitations, that choice is severely constrained, and particularly for those who are dependent upon the state for their funding.

If the cost is greater that the authority would usually expect to pay, having regard for an individual’s assessed needs, then a third party may need to be willing and able to pay the difference (the top-up).

In most situations the top-up can only be made by a third party; the resident is by law prevented from funding his or her own top-up, except during the initial twelve weeks of permanent residency when the value of their home is disregarded, and in cases of deferred payment.

Top-ups are sometimes necessary because there is a funding gap between the cost of the home and the authority’s fee level. The fee level may be below the operating costs of the care home. The Choice Directives and guidance are quite clear. If there is no place available that will meet the individual’s needs at the usual cost at the time the need is assessed, then the local authority should fund more expensive care.

The local authority must offer an available bed in a care home able to meet the individual’s needs when that need is

CareAware

CareAware’s objective is to improve public understanding and knowledge about the care system, to reinforce the rights and choices of the individual and to assist the public in making informed decisions.

identified. The individual and his family then have the choice of whether to accept the offer or to choose a more expensive home (or room) that the individual/family prefer.

The contract between the council and the care home must be for the full cost of meeting the individual’s assessed needs. The responsibility for negotiation the fee rests with the authority; it is part and parcel of arranging the care.

The care home may make independent charging arrangements with a third party only for services that are genuinely additional to the assessed needs of the individual, for example a larger room with access to the garden, in circumstances where such direct access is not an assessed need. That is not a ‘top-up’ but an arrangement made between the home and the family for additional services over and above those lawfully required to be provided under the contract with the local authority to meet all their assessed needs.

The dividing line is difficult to draw in individual cases.

Further information is available from national charities for older people such as Age Concern and Help the Aged (for contact details please see ‘Useful Contacts’ on page 49).

Local Authority and NHS Contributions Towards Care in Independent Sector Care Homes Before you can get help with funding a place in a care home, you must have your needs assessed by your county council (see ‘Assessing Your Need’ on page 45). The rules governing who qualifies for a care home place are often referred to as ‘eligibility criteria’, you can ask for a written copy of this (call The Department of Adult Social Care on 01872 322000). If it is decided that you do meet the criteria local authority will carry out a financial assessment to decide on how your care home fees will be paid.

You have a choice of home even if local council is funding you (see page 4). If the home you want costs more than local authority are willing to pay, third party top-ups may be available (see page 48). Below is a table showing minimum fees charged by care homes.
