At The Care Advisor, we begin by discussing your specific care needs and conducting a thorough assessment. This helps us understand your unique situation and determine the most suitable care solutions and health care needs for you.
We provide comprehensive advice and information about various care solutions, ensuring you have all the details you need to make an informed decision. Whether it’s home care, sheltered housing, residential care, or nursing care homes, we will guide you through the options available
Our discussions encompass all possible care solutions, including:
· Home care: Support services provided in the comfort of your own home.
· Sheltered housing: Independent living with access to on-site support.
· Residential care homes: Facilities that offer round-the-clock care and support.
· Nursing care homes: Homes that provide medical and personal care for individuals with higher care needs.
Understanding the financial aspects of care can be challenging. We offer guidance on benefit eligibility, funding options, and the support available to help ease the financial burden. We will ensure you are aware of all the resources you can access.
We can direct you to the right organisations and services that can offer additional support and resources. This might include local authorities, charities, and other care providers.
If you or a loved one requires a home care package following hospitalisation, a period of respite in a residential setting, or a transition to residential care, we can provide the necessary support and guidance. We assist in ensuring that you or your loved one is discharged to an appropriate environment tailored to the changed needs, with all essential arrangements in place for a seamless transition. Due to bed availability issues in many NHS hospitals, discharges can occur promptly once a patient is deemed fit for discharge. Receiving news that you or a loved one needs care after previously being independent can be unexpected and concerning. Our role is to offer comprehensive support during this time.
We meticulously research care providers to match your care needs and personal preferences. Our research includes:
· Establishing the availability of chosen providers.
· Reviewing Care Quality Commission (CQC) reports and other feedback methods.
This ensures that the care providers we recommend meet the highest standards of care and reliability.
Visiting care homes is a crucial step in selecting the appropriate facility. We offer to conduct these visits on your behalf or accompany you or a family member during these visits. This approach allows for a thorough assessment of the facilities and services available, assisting you in making an informed decision. With our attention to detail and understanding of the critical factors involved in choosing a care home, our services are designed to ensure that we identify the most suitable care home for your needs.
We offer support by being present during care assessments. This ensures that you have an advocate on your side who understands your needs and can help communicate them effectively to care professionals.
After establishing a care package, we will continue to monitor its implementation to ensure that the highest quality of care is being provided. We conduct monthly health and welfare assessments to ascertain that you or your loved one is satisfied and receiving the necessary care and support.
Navigating paperwork can be daunting. We aid with completing all necessary forms related to care, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
