A Welcome from

Devon County Council The people of Devon tell us they want to lead full and independent lives. In response, we are working hard to ensure our services promote choice and independence so that you are in control of your own services. We are working with Health and other public and community sector organisations to target those most in need of our support.

The information below explains who we are and how we can help people who need our support. If you need to get further information, or would like to talk to someone about our services, please call Care Direct in the “MyDevon” Customer Services Centre on 0845 1551 007.

Are you eligible for help?

Every person’s situation is unique, and we carefully consider each request for support.

We use guidelines from the Department of Health called Fair Access to Care Services (FACS)*, to make sure our services are provided fairly and used to support people in the greatest need. If we think that you may need one of our services, you and/or your carer will be offered an assessment.

The assessment will help us to decide whether your level of need means that you are eligible for a service.

We will look at your particular difficulties and circumstance and weigh up the effect they are having on your safety and independence.

David Johnstone Director of Adult & Community Services Devon County Council

How we meet your needs.

Your assessment will be carried out by a member of our staff, who could be a Social Worker, Occupational Therapist or Community Care Worker.

• First we aim to help by giving you information and advice.

• Then we will consider support from carers, families, friends and other organisations.

• If there are no other options, and you are in need of social care and support, we may arrange shortterm help to enable you to become independent or give you time to arrange your own service.

• We may arrange help so that you can live as independently as possible over the longer term.

• Where you have eligible needs, we may consider the use of Direct Payments *. You may be given the money to buy your own care within agreed limits.

• We aim to meet your agreed needs in the most cost effective way taking into account cultural needs.

Devon Social Care For Adults Adult & Community Services supports the social care needs of vulnerable older people and adults with disabilities.

We have teams of health and social care professionals working together in hospitals and the community, combining their resources and knowledge for the benefit of our customers, the people of Devon.

A Welcome from

Plymouth City Council We are working closely with our partners to make Plymouth a city that is ‘Healthy’, ‘Wealthy’, ‘Safe’ and ‘Wise’.

Ultimately by 2020 we want to make Plymouth ‘one of Europe’s finest, most vibrant waterfront cities, where an outstanding quality of life is enjoyed by everyone’.

To achieve this we have identified that some of our key customers are older and vulnerable people in the community.

We want to provide services that enable this group of people to live full and independent lives.

We are working hard to provide services that promote choice and independence so that older and vulnerable people are in control of their own lives.

We work with Health and other organisations from the voluntary and community sector to ensure our services reach those most in need of our support.

The information below explains who we are and how we can help people who need out support. If you need further information or would like to talk to someone about our services, please call our customer service contact centre on 01752 668000.

Clive Turner Director of Community Services

Plymouth Adult Social Care Services Adult social care is about supporting and assisting people who cannot manage alone due to severe illness, frailty, disability or vulnerability. It enables people to live as independently as possible in their own homes or with their family or friends.

Most adult social care is provided by family, friends and neighbours. We are committed to promoting the independence of adults assessed as needing social care support, and to further their social and economic participation.

We work with other organisations and individuals to ensure that those people in need of adult social care services and their carers are identified, given relevant information then supported in the most appropriate cost effective way.

Many people’s involvement with us will be brief, caused by an accident or temporary incapacity. For some there will be more extended or even permanent periods of vulnerability requiring longer term support. However, only a minority will Strip2ongoing 15/5/07 11:59 Page 1 require professional support.

Can you get help from adult social care services?

Anyone can contact us for information and advice. We have a responsibility to talk to anyone aged 18 and over who may need a social care service.

People who may ask for or need our help include: • older people who are physically or mentally frail • people with a physical or sensory impairment • people with learning disabilities and / or mental health problems • people who need drug and alcohol services or who have suffered neglect or abuse • people with HIV or other blood-borne viruses • people who provide informal care to another adult • homeless people, asylum seekers or refugees How do we decide who gets a service?

If you ask us for help, we will talk to you about your needs.

We call this an assessment. We can either do your assessment on the telephone or we can visit you at home. We will ask you questions about your life to help us work out what needs you have, like how you cope with the tasks you have to do everyday, if you have anyone to help you and your views about how your needs should be met.

To work out who gets a care service from us, we look at a number of factors that may affect how you lead your life.

They are: how safe you are in your home and outside it; how you manage your daily routines such as washing, dressing and eating; how much you are able to fulfil responsibilities to your family and within your wider community; how much control you have over your life.

To make sure this is done fairly, we use the national ‘Fair Access to Care Services’ guidance (see page 50). If you are assessed as having needs that are critical or substantial, we may be able to provide services to help you. If the assessment shows moderate or low needs we will direct you to relevant organisations and bodies.

A Welcome from

Torbay Care Trust Torbay Care Trust is a new type of NHS organisation which has brought together health and adult social care services to help and support local people more effectively.

We believe that you should be at the heart of every decision made about the support and care you receive, and that whatever your situation, you should be supported to make real decisions about your life and look creatively at the things that will help to keep you independent.

Sometimes the decisions you will need to make will be difficult - we will always take time to explain all of the options available and enable you to make choices which are right for you.

You may be surprised about the wide range of services which are available, such as Direct Payments which give you real control over how and where money is spent on your care, or new technologies which can help you stay at home for longer.

We believe that people are not defined by the difficulties that they face and that there is no reason why getting older, or having a disability, should mean the end of your independence. We will always encourage and enable those we support to live their lives the way they want to.

I hope this section of the guide is useful – if you require more information or advice, please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Services Centre (see Contacting Adult Social Services in Torbay below).

Peter Colclough Chief Executive & Director of Adult Social Care, Torbay Care Trust

What do we do?

We provide a range of support to help you, or those you care for, live with independence and dignity. From care at home, to long-term residential care, we will help you find the support which is right for your needs. Our aim is to enable you to live life as you want to, with as much or as little help as you need.

Social care services include: • Domiciliary care (provided in your own home).

• Day care, short-term care, residential care.

• Community alarms and equipment (technology to give you and your family peace of mind).

• Community meals (hot meals delivered to your home).

• Direct payments (you are in direct control of your care).

• Intermediate care (support following a stay in hospital, a period of serious ill health, or a fall).

Strip2 15/5/07 11:59 Page 1 • Sensory disabilities (serious sight / hearing difficulties).

• •

Support for carers.

Safeguarding adults – investigating abuse and neglect.

Torbay Care Trust provides some of these services itself and buys others from private organisations and charities on behalf of local people. This is known as ‘commissioning’.

Who is eligible for help?

The Care Trust must ensure that care is provided for those who need it most. The Care Trust uses something called ‘Eligibility Criteria’, to help allocate services in the right way to the right people.

This criteria is graded into four bands and ensures that those in most need receive the most support. The bands are: critical, substantial, moderate and low.

Needs assessed as ‘Critical’ may include situations where someone’s safety is immediately at risk - our first priority is to ensure that people are safe and that they are not abused or neglected. Needs assessed as ‘Substantial’ may be situations where people have little control over their life and are unable to carry out some basic functions like getting dressed and preparing a meal.

If you are the main carer for another person and need some support we provide and access a wide range of services, help, advice and information.

For full details of this criteria, call the Customer Services Centre (details below), we will be happy to help.

What happens next?

When you first contact us we will ask you questions about your situation and the type of help that you think you need.

Sometimes we may be able to help straight away by putting you in touch with other organisations. If we need more information about your circumstances, we will usually arrange for a member of staff to visit you in your own home to talk to you about the problems that you are having, and to agree with you the type of help you need. This is called a Community Care Assessment.

We may need to talk to other people involved in your care, such as your doctor, your family or carer, to make sure that you get the help you need. If we do speak to someone else about your situation, we will ask your permission. Sensitive information will be treated in the strictest confidence.

By working closely with you, we will use the information gathered to put you in control of the help, support and services that you need.

Help At Home

member of the family or friend.

Homecare is intended to help people remain as independent as possible and enables them to stay in familiar surroundings, close to their friends, family and the local community. It can be purchased from a homecare agency independently, provided directly by the local authority or purchased by social services from local homecare providers.

Homecare workers are specially trained to work in people’s homes and assist with getting up and going to bed, washing and dressing, shopping, meal preparation and assisting with medication.

All care workers receive basic training and many study for a vocational qualification in care and have specialist training on caring for people with learning disabilities or dementia.

Homecare workers can visit for as little or as long and as often as needed, up to a ‘live-in package’. Working hours are geared to the normal daily routine from early morning to late evening.

All UK-based agencies can join United Kingdom Home Care Association, the professional representative association committed to ensuring the highest standards of homecare.

UKHCA can supply a free leaflet, ‘Choosing care in your home’ and details of local homecare agencies from a list of nearly 1,700 organisations that have agreed to comply with the Association’s Code of Practice. See www.ukhca. co.uk/choosingcareadvice.aspx and www.ukhca.co.uk/ memberlist.aspx or telephone 020 8288 5291 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. Many organisations as listed in the following pages are UKHCA members.

It may be that you are able to live with greater independence with a few adaptations to your home. This could include widening doors for wheelchair access, or installation of equipment such as grab rails. Your local authority can arrange for an assessment from an occupational therapist to help you identify your needs. Smaller items may be free of charge, however you may be asked to contribute to larger items or adaptations.

Homecare - supporting independence Homecare, also known as domiciliary care, enables people who need assistance in their personal care to remain in their own home, rather than move into a care home or care home with nursing.

Sometimes homecare is temporary, after a stay in hospital, and sometimes it is needed on a longerterm basis or to supplement the care already provided by a

The first step towards getting help from Social Services is to ask your GP or to contact your local authority. The local authority are then obliged to carry out an assessment to determine your needs.

If it is assessed that you require carers in your own home, your local authority can provide services directly or arrange for services from another organisation. Alternatively local authorities can make Direct Payments to you for arranging care yourself (see Direct Payments on page 50).

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.

Take a Break Scheme for Carers of Adults What is the ‘Take a Break’ scheme?

It is a new county wide subsidised scheme which gives carers of adults a single route to arrange day time or evening breaks from their caring responsibilities. The breaks are provided by a care worker coming to look after the cared for person so the carer can have a break.

Who can use Take a Break Services?

The service is available for all carers who look after an older person, or someone with a physical or sensory disability over the age of 18 years. It is not currently available for carers of adults with mental health difficulties under 65 years of age, learning disabilities or who have children with disabilities. Young carers can access the scheme if they are looking after an eligible adult.

What does the Take a Break scheme offer?

• It is an open access service, which means that carers will not have to go through any Health or Adult & Community Services assessments to be able to use the scheme.

• Carers must be a member of their local ‘Carers Link’. These are listed in our leaflet 6 “You are a Carer” or you can call Care Direct on 0845 155 1007 who can give you their contact details.

• Carers will be allocated 3 hours per week of ‘breaks services’ which can be saved and used in blocks of up to 12 hours at any one time.

• The charge to the carer is a standard rate of £2.50 per hour with no requirement of a financial assessment.

• The scheme will use vouchers and every voucher will be worth one hour of breaks.

Nursing Agencies

N

ursing Agencies in Devon 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

Nursing 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, nurses can be provided to people in their own home.

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

NMS National Minimum Standards

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 by 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 up-

to-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.

The NMS publication can be ordered from the Department of Health by calling 0870 155 54 55

Meal Provision

M

eal providers in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay in this section are listed alphabetically. Many companies listed here provide a Community Meals (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.

Alternatively you may prefer to employ a home care assistant to prepare meals for you in your home. This may be appropriate when you are recovering from illness or returning from hospital. Home Care Agencies are listed in this publication page 8.

Age Concern Tiverton - Luncheon Club

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.

Advocacy

A

dvocacy within Adult Social Care is representation for someone who, for whatever reason, is unable to speak up for themselves. This could be support for questions, decisions, or making a complaint. People who might need advocacy may be elderly, frail, physically disabled or have learning disabilities or mental health needs.

Advocacy

IMCA

You may want other people to speak to Adult & Community Services for you, this is known as ‘Advocacy’.

Advocacy is about helping you to speak up for yourself, to make sure that your views and opinions are heard and understood. If you find it hard, or you are unable to speak for yourself then you may need an ‘Advocate’ who will speak for you.

What are the benefits of Advocacy?

It will enable you to speak for yourself. A person or group will speak for you about your concerns. It will provide you with access to information, professional support, complaint procedures and services. It will help you to see what other services are available, such as local community services, self-help groups and other support networks. It can make it easier for you get information in a way that you can understand. It will help you choose what you want to do.

It will help you to get people to understand your point of view. The advocate will only speak for you. The advocate will listen to you without judging you.

Mental Health

O

ne in four people suffer from mental health problems in a year, depression and anxiety are the most common. Dementia is generally associated with older people, homecare help is available (page 8) and many care homes can offer support, see ‘Care Homes’ on page 35

General

As with our physical health, mental health can change across our lifetime. Mental illness affects about a quarter of the population in one year, making one of the most common health problems. Most people are able to get over mental health problems with help and/or medication: early diagnosis is important for successful treatment.

SANEline

SANE is a charity set up in 1986 to initially focus on Schizophrenia but is now concerned with all mental illnesses including depression and manic depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, obsessions, phobias, as well as alcohol and drug addiction, and more.

SANE has three main objectives: • To raise awareness and respect for people and their families with mental illness, improve education and training, and secure better services.

• To undertake research into the causes of serious mental illness.

• To provide information and emotional support to those experiencing mental health problems, their families and carers through SANEline.

The confidential SANEline number is 0845 767 8000, lines are open 1pm to 11pm every day, calls are charged at local rate. Help includes practical information, crisis care and emotional support to anybody affected by mental health problems, including family and carers.

Dementia Care

Dementia is a group of related illnesses which are caused by damage to, or disease of, the brain. It is more common with older people. It is a gradual illness that effects short term memory, sense of time and place, communication, understanding and judgment.

If you are worried because you, or someone you care for, may be showing these symptoms, you should visit your GP. If the GP suspects dementia you may be referred to a specialist.

If dementia is diagnosed you have time to find out as much asStrip2 you can15/5/07 so that you can Page be prepared for the changes 11:59 1 which may happen. In most cases it is best for the person

20

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.

Day care centres offer activities and sometimes meal and hairdressing facilities (see day care section).

In some circumstances, a person with dementia cannot be cared for at home. Care homes may offer nursing or personal care, or both (see care homes section).

Cool Recovery

‘Cool Recovery’ is an independent charity providing support, information, volunteering opportunities and a range of activities for family, friends and people recovering from or affected by mental health issues.

It provides opportunities and space to make changes, to use and develop skills, pursue aspirations and recover a good quality of life.

We offer a unique, friendly and easily accessible resource, a street/lane level access point for the people in our community who need us. We successfully work with carers and the ‘cared for’ of all ages in the rural and urban areas.

Our Young Carers Project at the Cool House is one of the few projects in the UK specifically for young people affected by a parent or sibling ‘s mental health problems. Cool Recovery evolved from a South Devon carers’ network with one home- based worker, to an all inclusive project now based in a large house in central Torquay, with an extensive range of support services also available in the surrounding rural area. We are now entering our third year of development.

“All are welcome at the Cool House” We are a dynamic, lively organization. Our members support one another and involve themselves in a diverse range of activities to promote recovery, mental and physical well-being and meaningful employment. Cool Recovery Membership involves each person volunteering and taking part in the running of the charity, with a yearly membership fee of just £12. The Cafe is run by members and promotes healthy eating by serving tasty, nutritious, freshly cooked food which is locally sourced and reasonably priced. We are currently developing a service for young parents. Working together with Surestart we will offer support to combat postnatal depression and training in parenting skills for the whole family.

Cool Recovery is totally independently funded and works successfully in partnership with statutory and non statutory organisations. Operational funds are generated from the Café, membership fees and room rental. Recovery involves integration in the local community, as such, we have developed good working relationships with local businesses by using their services, as a result helping reduce the stigma of mental illness.

All About Ellie

Ellie, who was born on 25th January 2005, is the child of Julie and Nigel Libby.

Julie and Nigel had a little boy called Thomas who sadly passed away when he was only fourteen months old. Thomas died of a terminal illness for which there is currently no name but it was a terminal illness believed to be linked with the genetics of both Julie and Nigel. The geneticist believed that if they had a baby girl it was more likely that she would not be similarly affected.

Four years after Thomas’ death, Ellie was born. It quickly transpired that she too, had a similar terminal condition.

Ellie requires around-the-clock care and suffers from: • Global developmental delay • Laryngomalacia – Ellie has a tube/opening in her throat • Feeding difficulties – Ellie is fed solely by tube • Seizures • Vision impairment Ellie was given a very short life expectancy and was not expected to live beyond her first birthday…..she is still with us.

We, the trustees, want to make Ellie’s life have meaning and wish to provide Cornwall and Devon in particular, with something to be proud of and something that will stand as a permanent memorial to Ellie.

“We’re aiming to to build a nonmedical holiday haven for the children of Devon and Cornwall and their families which we will call “Ellie’s Haven”.

We had our official launch of Ellies - haven in November 2007, at a very successful winter ball, at the Hannnafore Point Hotel in Looe.

Our Mission

Ellie’s Haven is being built on the outskirts of Looe in Cornwall to make the most of short and precious lives.

We will offer holidays and short breaks in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Ellie’s Haven will be a home from home experience for children and young people with life limiting/life threatening conditions and those with long term illnesses, and for their parents/guardians and siblings and their carer(s) if needed.

“A special place for special children”

Our Objectives

We appreciate that what we are taking on is a mammoth task but we have the drive and determination that we will succeed. We have already had land donated to us but now we have to build Ellie’s haven with all that entails regarding design specifications, planning and so on.

The building itself may well cost in excess one-anda-half million pounds and, once constructed, will cost approximately three- hundred-thousand pounds per year to run.

Apart from any funding that we may be able to secure through Governmental Grant Schemes or National Lottery funding, we will be entirely dependent upon funding from charitable donations. Towards this end we need to raise the profile of this project to a national level in the hope that we can attract contributions from as wide a source as possible.

From here on in, fund raising will need to be our raison Strip2 15/5/07 11:59 Page 1 d’etre.

“We can all help to make a difference to the lives of these very special children” Jason Donovan

Dontations

It takes a huge amount of money to setup and then run a non-medical holiday haven, so if you can make a donation, however small, every penny will help us.

To make a donation please send cheques (Payable to Ellie’s Haven Cornwall Ltd) to: 40 Woodlands View, West Looe, Cornwall, PL13 2AW If you would like to Gift Aid your donation you can download a printable Gift Aid Declaration form our website: www.ellies-haven.org.uk E-mail: info@ellies-haven.org.uk Tel: 01503 265044

Disabled Sailing Association 01803 408886 DREAM-A-WAY’s Aim... ...is to send local people with physical and learning difficulties on holidays and day trips - whether it is fulfilling a lifetime dream, experiencing great opportunities or just having ‘time out’ from daily routines. People of all ages and from around the South West are helped in every way possible to have a DREAM-A-WAY holiday.

The volunteer committee members use their time to raise money to fund the trips and also actively seek out opportunities to help people throughout the South West.

The chance for DREAM-A-WAY committee members and friends to raise money and help others has always been the driving force behind the charity. What makes this charity so extra special is that the volunteers provide their time and services freely - and that the charity does not incur any administration costs.

The Disabled Sailing Association uses the Royal Torbay and Corinthians Sailing Clubs, both of which are working towards full accessibility for people with Learning Disabilites, Physical Disabilities and/or Sensory Imparement. There is no charge to sail but donations of £2.00 per person are accepted.

Children can sail free of charge.

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.

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 attempt alone, or even with the help of a carer, may be undertaken.

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.

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 feasible to remain in your own home, even with a package of care and support services. There can also be positive 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.

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 special diets catered for? Can Residents eat privately

•

• •

•

• •

with guests from time to time? 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 Age Concern Factsheet 29

Do residents visit the library, or does a mobile library come? do the managers of the home ask about how the resident would like to handle money or medicines? how does the home ensure valuable items are kept secure? do the residents have their own GP’s? how will the home let residents or friends know if a resident is taken ill? is there a residents committee? does the home encourage residents to say how they feel about living there, and provide written information to residents and/or their families about how to discuss a problem or make a complaint. are toilets available in all parts of the home, fully equipped with handrails and other helpful equipment? can wheelchairs go everywhere within the home, and easily in and out? Is there a lift? if the resident needs help bathing, does the home have suitable facilities? Who will help bathing, and can the resident choose how often they have a bath? do you have to pay extra for toiletries? are there any areas for smoking and non-smoking? what happens if residents require more or less care than they currently have? Might they have to leave?

What arrangements are made for funerals, and for payment if the resident dies? can residents help in ordinary activities of the home, cleaning, cooking, gardening? are residents allowed to bring their pets with them to the home?

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 to your income less £20.45 retained, for personal expenses. If you have capital between £13,000 and £21,500

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, non-taxable 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 primary 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

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 Further information is available from Philip Spiers, Managing into help and check if the care home owner can continue to Director, or Paul Loom, Care Advice Line Manager, on 01865 733000. accommodate at social services funding rates.

Sheltered Housing & Extra Care

S

heltered Housing in Devon (otherwise known as Retirement Housing) which provide care services / extra care are listed in this section. There are many standard schemes throughout Devon, more information can be obtained from the Elderly Accommodation Counsel on 020 78201343.

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

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 from the Elderly Accommodation Counsel (EAC). Their website www. housingcare.org contains a broad spectrum of information and advice regarding Sheltered Housing and Extra Care.

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 a service charge to cover the services provided. Service Charges in the majority of ordinary sheltered or retirement schemes is in the range of £20 to £40 a week.

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

Buying

Prices and types of property vary enormously. A small second-hand flat may be found for under £70,000 in parts of the country. Brand new properties cost more. Luxurious homes on sites with every amenity - swimming pools, golf courses and restaurants - can cost well into six figures.

Service charges are likely to apply as will ground rent which could vary from £50 per year to £300. Optional home care and meal services will normally be charged for separately if they are privately provided.

For more Information on Sheltered Housing and Extra Care - the Elderly Accommodation Counsel (EAC) provides independent and comprehensive advice. This can be accessed via the website www.housingcare.org or by calling 020 78201343.

The Devon Association of Councils for Voluntary Service (DACVS)

WHEN IN DOUBT - ASK THE

CareAware

HELPLINE

Formed in 2004, the DACVS for Voluntary Service is a partnership that works to support the voluntary and community sector to develop and improve its contribution to the lives of local people in Devon.

The Partnership The Partnership covers the geographical region of Devon, covering North Devon, Torridge, Mid Devon, East Devon, Exeter, West Devon, Teignbridge and the South Hams (but not Plymouth and Torbay). Its activities are governed by the Chief Officers of the local Councils for Voluntary Service.

Integrity Through our work, we aim to ensure that the voluntary and community sector has effective local representation and that everyone is able to share best practice, skills and expertise.

Also, that relationships are made with the regional and subregional bodies to promote the interests of the 8 ‘Councils for Voluntary Services’ and their members, and to access funding to improve and increase services to the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) across Devon.

Projects DACVS comes together to manage and host many County wide projects. Two of which include: Devon Rural Carers Project: Devon offers a wide range of services to support carers. However, it has been recognised that there is a deficit in support to carers in rural areas, in what otherwise is a well regarded network of services. Teignbridge CVS team in June 2006 carried out a 2 year action research project to support carers in rural areas, aiming to involve more rural carers in support services and to improve on delivering these services in rural areas.

Parent Carers Voice: is a way for parents and carers to influence the way services for their children are planned and delivered in Devon. Parent Carers’ Voice acts as a consultative mechanism between parents and carers of children with special needs and the services their children receive. Parent Carers’ Voice is supported by Devon Association of Councils for Voluntary Service (DACVS).

In ‘Useful Contacts’ on page 53 is is a list of the CVS in Devon that come together as the DACVS partnership.

Fair Access to Care Services (FACS)

Fair Access to Care Services is a national government framework to decide eligibility criteria for Adult Social Care.

The aim is to have consistency across the country on how decisions are made regarding care services for individuals.

If you are assessed as requiring care services your level of need will be determined as either Critical, Substantial, Moderate or Low. The band you are considered to fall into determines the level of care you receive.

Many councils are not able to provide services for people assessed as Moderate or Low, however you will be redirected to appropriate organisations.

More information: Devon County Council 0845 1551007 FactSheet1 Assessment and Fair Access to Care. Torbay Council 01803 208435 Leaflets TSS1 and TSS13. Plymouth City Council 01752 668000 Leaflets Fair Access to Care Services Practice Guidance and Plymouth FACS Table.

Direct Payments Scheme

Direct Payments are payments made in place of social service provisions, to individuals who have been assessed as needing services. This is designed to allow greater choice and flexibility for individuals assessed as requiring care services.

The amount you receive depends on the assessment from your council.

Direct Payments are available to disabled people over the age of 16, parents or carers aged 16 or over (including people with a parental responsibility for a disabled child), and older people. The money is for you to use to arrange the services (including equipment) which will meet the needs the local council has assessed you as having.

More information: Devon County Council 0845 1551007 FactSheet8 Direct Payments. Torbay Care Trust 01803 210500 Direct Payments Information Pack. Plymouth Direct Payments Team 01752 308854 leaflet Direct payments for adults.

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.

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. Resident’s spouse are also unable to top-up.

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 fee level 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 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 negotiating 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.
