Introduction Welcome to this edition of the independent Lancashire Care Services Directory, incorporating Blackburn with Darwen and Blackpool, which contains information for adults looking for care or support within the county, whether they are paying for it themselves or receiving support from their local council. Staying as independent as possible is important to everybody. This Directory contains information about the care and support services available to enable you to do this when remaining living at home, moving into a housing with care scheme, or within a care home or care home with nursing. If you feel you need support to remain independent, first look to your community. There’s a host of organisations and voluntary services that could be of help to you. If you think you need more formal care and support, arrange an assessment with your local adult social care department to establish your specific needs. This is free, irrespective of your income, and available to all those who appear to need care and support. More details are provided on page 15. The assessment will determine whether you are eligible for financial support via a Personal Budget, which may allow you to buy in your own support and take control of your situation. Alternatively, your circumstances may mean you are classed as a ‘self-funder’, with the means to pay for your care. This is discussed on page 22 for those paying for care at home and 48 for those paying for residential care.

homes and care homes with nursing in Lancashire start on page 55. There’s also important information about care decisions, including finding care in another county, making a comment or complaint about a service and how solicitors can help you.

Lancashire Learning Disability Consortium as a focal point for representation and consultation to commissioners regarding member issues.

The Lancashire Learning Disability Consortium (LLDC) welcomes and supports the publication of the Lancashire Care Services Directory, which aims to publish a free Directory of information to the citizens of Lancashire. Formed in April 2001, the LLDC exists to bring together provider organisations and citizens with an interest in services for people with a learning disability in Lancashire. The LLDC’s primary aim is to develop a collective, informed and knowledgeable voice. The LLDC shares information, experience and information for members’ mutual benefit and acts

Across the years, the LLDC has actively participated in and been represented on many sub-boards and groups, currently including the Local Partnership Board and Provider Forums. For more information on membership class and the purpose of the LLDC, please get in touch using the details below. Sue Pemberton Chair Lancashire Learning Disability Consortium Email: admin@lldc.org Web: www.lldc.org

Helping you to stay independent Services developed in partnership with the voluntary sector Adult social care works with voluntary and community organisations to supply preventative care services. These are a vital form of support and help to maintain independence and social inclusion, and delay or avoid the need for more statutory interventions. Examples include: • day services, lunch clubs and social groups; • befriending, visiting and telephone contact services; • support schemes to help people being discharged from hospital; • support for carers; and • handyperson schemes.

Lancashire Care Navigation Service The Care Navigation Service provides a free and impartial service to anyone in Lancashire over the age of 18 looking for safe personal care services that match their needs and requirements. The Care Navigation Service helps people find the right care services even if they have decided not to have an assessment.

Day care centres Many people can feel lonely or isolated without an opportunity to fill their days with meaningful activities. Research has shown that one way to alleviate loneliness and promote wellbeing and independence is to provide regular social contact and a focus for activities. Day care centres give people the chance to change their routine, meet new people, take up an activity or receive specialist services such as chiropody or hairdressing. There is a wide variety around the county, catering for older people, people with mental health conditions, learning disabilities and people diagnosed with dementia. Centres can be as important for carers as those attending, as the centres allow for a regular break from caring.

Adapting your home To remain in your own home for as long as you would like, you should ensure that it is safe, secure and warm. Some forward planning to ensure that the garden doesn’t become a burden is also sensible. If you are not planning to move, think about adaptations that would make life easier now and later on. Home Improvement Agencies (HIAs) HIAs are local organisations funded and supported by local and central government. HIAs work professionally and sensitively with older and disabled homeowners, providing advice, support and assistance to help them repair, improve, maintain or adapt their homes to meet their changing needs. Most HIAs provide three main services, including information and advice on repairs or adaptations you may be considering – this usually entails a visit to your home and is often free; a handyperson service for small jobs and repairs – typically, the HIA will employ its own handypersons and charge you an hourly rate for their services; and a home adaptations service for more major works. The HIA will work with you to specify the adaptations needed and will normally offer to get estimates from one or more of their regular contractors. Subject to your acceptance, the HIA will then offer to manage the works contract for you for an agreed fee.

Making life easier at home If you’re having difficulties with everyday tasks at home, these simple solutions could make life easier and keep you independent. These are a starting point; other solutions are available which might better suit your needs.

Finding it difficult to get in and out of chairs? Try putting a piece of hard board under the seat base. Alternatively, buy chair raisers, a higher chair or an electric riser chair. Also try taking regular gentle exercise to improve your mobility. If you can’t reach your windows, could you move furniture out of the way? Ask someone to help if you need to move heavy furniture. There are also tools for opening and closing windows. Struggling to keep warm/cool? Consider a fan or heater. Is your house insulated? Are there any draughts? You may also be eligible for the winter fuel payment from the Government. Visit www.gov.uk/winter-fuel-payment If you have trouble using light switches, think about replacing your switches for ones that are easier to use. Consider handi-plugs or light switch toggles, or there’s even technology available so that you can turn your lights on and off using your speech. Use subtitles if you can’t hear the TV or buy wireless headphones. Do you need a hearing aid? Request an assessment from your council.

Handled plug

Chair raisers

Do you forget to take your tablets? Try making a note of when you’ve taken them, or buy an automatic pill dispenser or pill box. If you struggle to open your medicine, you can ask your pharmacist for advice on alternative packaging that could make it easier for you. Can you reach everything in your cupboards? If not, try a handi-reacher or rearrange your kitchen so the things you use most are within easy reach. If you are having problems with preparing food, consider buying ready-chopped options or try a chopping board with spikes. There are also longhandled pans, teapot tippers and lid grippers that could help. Palm-held vegetable peelers or a food processor might be a solution and meal delivery services are also available. Is eating and drinking becoming difficult? Largehandled cutlery could help, or non-slip mats for the table. Lightweight cups and mugs with two handles could also be a solution. Using taps can be made easier by fitting tap turners. You could also consider changing to leverstyle taps which might be easier for you to use.

More information on staying independent and ideas to help you live at home can be found online at www.carechoices.co.uk/staying-independent-at-home/ There is also information on making larger adaptations to your home.

If moving whilst in bed is a problem, have you thought about using an over-bed pole? You might also want to buy a pillow raiser or change your bedding so it’s lighter.

If it’s hard to hold your toothbrush, try a toothbrush gripper. You might also benefit from having an electric toothbrush or sitting on a stool while brushing your teeth.

Is it becoming difficult to get dressed? If so, specially adapted clothing is available, or you could buy a long-handled shoe horn, a dressing stick or a button hook. If you are having a lot of difficulty, consider home support, see page 19.

You might like to buy a raised toilet seat, or a seat with a built-in support frame if it’s hard to use your toilet. Flush lever extensions are also available.

Clocks are available with large numbers or lights if you can’t read the time in bed. You can also buy clocks that speak the time. If you are finding it harder to read in bed, consider an e-reader that allows you to change the font size. Some also have integrated lights. Look for bedside lamps with a step-on or button switch if yours are difficult to use. Do you struggle to get in and out of bed? You could learn new ways of moving around, purchase a leg lifter or a hoist or install grab rails for support. Seek advice about these options. If the bed is the issue, you could buy an electric adjustable bed or raise the bed to the right height.

Grab handles

Bed table

Has it become more difficult to wash? Items are available, like long-handled sponges and flannel straps. You could also consider a slip-resistant bath mat, grab rails, a half step to help you get in and out of the bath or a bath or shower seat. Tap turners can also be used in the bathroom.

For more information on technology that could make your life easier, contact your council for an assessment. They might refer you to an occupational therapist (OT) or you could contact an OT privately. Search online for OTs near you.

Specialist equipment There is a range of equipment available to make life easier and to improve safety and independence in the home, such as stair rails, raised toilet seats and shower stools. These items are often referred to as ‘simple aids for daily living’. The Disabled Living Foundation (DLF) provides a quick and easy-to-use online guided advice service

called AskSARA, which can help anyone who finds that they have difficulties with everyday tasks. Visit https://asksara.dlf.org.uk to learn more about possible solutions or see pages 10 to 11. Once you have identified equipment that might help with your support needs, use the checklist on page 14 to make sure it’s right for you.

Telecare Telecare is equipment that can detect falls, inactivity, smoke, flooding, gas or extreme temperatures in the home. Sensors, when activated, will connect to a response centre where trained operators will contact the individual through their home unit. Operators will take the most appropriate action, such as contacting a nominated responder, family member, carer, neighbour, doctor or the emergency services for support. Telecare can allow users to regain confidence in their homes and remain independent. Relatives and carers are also reassured, safe in the knowledge that should an incident occur, they will know about it. Some devices can also help monitor particular health conditions and reduce the need for hospital admission. You can buy telecare and assistive technology from private companies and organisations or, if you’re eligible through an assessment (see page 15), your local council may be able to provide it for you.

Assistive technology checklist

ÂŠ 2021 Care Choices Ltd

We suggest you consider the following questions before buying any assistive technology. If you are in any doubt about what technology might help meet your needs, you can contact your council or visit https://asksara.dlf.org.uk You can download and print this checklist at www.carechoices.co.uk/checklists

Suitability

Will it need to be installed by a professional?

Does the equipment support your specific needs?

Can the retailer provide you with training in using the equipment?

Are you willing to use it?

Reliability

Will it fit into your everyday life and routine? Have you tried a demo of the equipment?

Do you understand what the equipment is for? Do you need to take it with you when you leave the house? Is it transportable? Does the equipment have any limitations that would make it unsuitable for you? Will it work alongside any assistive technology you already have?

Usability Is a simpler piece of equipment available, e.g. a pill case rather than an automated pill dispenser? Does the equipment need a plug socket, and will its wire cause a trip hazard? Is it easy to use? Can you read/hear it clearly and are any buttons big enough for you? Are you able to use it? Are there any aspects you donâ€™t understand? Is it portable?

Will it work if you have pets or live with other people, e.g. could someone else set off a sensor alarm by accident? Have you read reviews of the particular piece of equipment you are looking at? Consider these before making your purchase.

Can you speak to someone who already uses it? Does it require batteries? Find out how often they will need changing and whether the equipment will remind you to do this.

Is it durable? If you might drop it, is it likely to break?

Cost Do you know how much it costs?

Will you need to pay a monthly charge?

Are there alternative solutions that might be free?

Is there a cost associated with servicing the equipment?

Support from your local council The way councils provide services to eligible adults and their carers is called personalisation. This term is used to describe several ways in which eligible adults can receive a mixture of local authority and government money to pay for the care services

they need without direct council involvement. If you approach your local council for social care support, your needs and finances will be assessed. If you have a carer, they can be involved and have their needs assessed too.

Your assessment If you appear to have care or support needs, you have the legal right to an assessment of your care needs and finances. Councils are statutorily obliged to provide this to you, regardless of whether you access their services. The assessment (which is free) will consider: • how you can best be supported to live as independently as possible; • your home and how you are coping in it;

You will need to contact your local adult social care department to arrange an assessment. See page 5. Once your local adult social care department understands your care and financial needs, the next stage is to determine what services you may be eligible for and who will pay for them. Your local council will give you more information on eligibility and the national eligibility criteria it uses at the time of your assessment.

• your emotional wellbeing; • your diet; and • any health and medical treatments you need.

Information on paying for care can be found on page 22 if you are receiving home care and page 48 if you are moving into a care home.

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

• by way of an account held and managed by your local council in line with your wishes; or • as a mixture of the above. Direct Payments can only be used to pay for the care and support agreed in your care and support plan. Managing a Direct Payment If you are eligible for a Direct Payment from your local adult social care department, you can contact Salvere to help you to manage this. Salvere can help you to organise, buy and manage the care and services you need, including building your own support plan and helping you to employ personal assistants.

If you are eligible, a Personal Budget may be taken: • in the form of a Direct Payment, held directly by you or, where you lack capacity, by a ‘suitable person’;

Tel: 0300 303 3064 Email: contactus@salvere.co.uk Web: www.salvere.co.uk

Visit www.carechoices.co.uk for further assistance with your search for care

Assessments from hospital If you have been admitted to hospital and you might need care on discharge, you may be referred to the discharge team for an assessment, which will take place on the ward. The team may be made up of social workers, carers’ officers, mental health workers and housing officers. Whatever services you need on discharge, your local

adult social care department will work with you, your family and carers to either restart services already in place prior to admission or to provide the appropriate services if you are eligible. Sometimes interim care packages are set up to facilitate your discharge and you will be reassessed by a community social worker within four to six weeks.

Reablement Reablement is an intensive short-term service that helps people regain skills and confidence, for example, after a fall or hospital stay. You may need to have an assessment of your care needs to decide whether you are eligible. If you are eligible, a reablement worker will support you for a limited period, usually up to six weeks. The actual length of the reablement depends on your needs and progression towards your goals. Reablement helps people to learn or re-learn daily living skills. It is not about doing things for you, it’s about giving you the skills and confidence to do things for yourself. It can also mean that you do

not start to depend on support that could cost you money. For example, a reablement worker could help you regain your confidence following a fall or provide support that enables you to prepare a meal if there has been a change in circumstances that means you need to cook. Reablement workers may also identify pieces of equipment that could support you to regain or maintain your independence for as long as you can. Speak to your GP, hospital staff or local adult social care department if you think you might benefit from reablement. These people can put you in touch with the right services if it is felt that reablement will help you.

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

resource helps people to regain their independence and feel confident in their ability to manage for themselves with any necessary additional support. Intermediate care, including any care home fees where relevant, is provided by the NHS and is free. It is usually limited to a maximum of six weeks. If, after this, you have ongoing care or support needs, your local council will conduct an assessment and may help you to arrange any services you might need. There may be a charge for these services.

NHS Continuing Healthcare NHS Continuing Healthcare is a package of continuing care that is arranged and funded solely by the NHS. This is free of charge, wherever it is delivered. NHS Continuing Healthcare support may be provided in a care home or care home with nursing or in a person’s own home.

People eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare will have been assessed to have a ‘primary health need’ and are likely to have complex medical needs and substantial or intense ongoing care needs. See page 49 for more information.

Personal health budgets A personal health budget is an amount of money to support a person’s identified health needs. It is planned and agreed between the person and their local NHS team.

The aim is to enable people with long-term conditions and disabilities to have greater choice, flexibility and control over the healthcare and support they receive.

Services for carers Who is a carer? Carers regularly look after, help or support someone who wouldn’t be able to manage everyday life without their help. A carer doesn’t have to be living with the person they care for, and the help the carer gives doesn’t have to be physical. The carer may be caring for a partner, another relative, a friend or a neighbour. For example, it may be someone who:

• has a long-term health condition; or

• is over 60;

• eating or taking medicines;

• is living with dementia;

• getting about at home or outside;

• has a physical or learning disability or a mental health condition;

• practical help at home and keeping someone company; or

• has sight, hearing or communication difficulties;

• emotional support or communicating.

• misuses drugs or alcohol. The carer may be helping with: • personal care, such as washing and dressing; • going to the toilet or dealing with incontinence;

Having a carers’ assessment Anyone who provides, or intends to provide, regular unpaid support to someone who could not manage without their support has the right to have their own needs assessed, even if the person they care for has refused support services or an assessment of their own needs. A carers’ assessment is an opportunity for people to tell their local council what they need as a carer, and to find out what support might be available. The assessment is an essential first step for carers to get the support they may need. It looks at: • the care the carer provides and how this affects their life; • any support they are getting now and what else would help; and • what they would like their support to achieve.

The assessment can also give lots of information about other services that might help, and other ideas for support. The carer’s assessment will show if they qualify for support from adult social care. Carers’ Personal Budgets The carers’ Personal Budget is a single payment that can be used towards the cost of something specific that will support carers in their caring role. For example, it could be used for leisure activities, education or training, or just to take a short break from caring. When adult social care considers a carer’s Personal Budget, it gives priority to situations where there is a significant risk of the carer not being able to continue to provide care if they do not get some support. The amount a carer could get depends on their needs identified by a carers' assessment. The money is not taxed, and it will not affect any benefits.

Respite at home Home-based respite services give carers a break from their caring responsibilities. A care worker can come in to look after the person being cared for, so the carer can have some time to themselves. The breaks could be regular or just when needed. Respite at home is considered to be a service for the

person who is being cared for. If the person being cared for has a Personal Budget for their own needs (see page 15) they could use that money to pay for it. A financial assessment of the person being cared for will confirm whether they need to pay towards the cost of this service.

Benefits Carers may want to explore whether they are entitled to Carer’s Allowance – currently £67.25 per week but this may change over the lifetime of this Directory. Carers may also qualify for Carer’s Premium or Carer’s Credit depending on their eligibility. The Government’s website, www.gov.uk has more information on benefits, including carers’ benefits. Alternatively, contact a local carers’ organisation which may be able to help undertake a benefit check.

Care in your own home Carefully chosen home care with a good-quality provider is an excellent way to retain your freedom and independence, whilst getting the help you need to stay happy and safe. It can offer the opportunity to stay at home, in your own familiar surroundings, and to retain a quality of life you might have feared lost. Why choose home care? Reasons for choosing home care can vary. Sometimes after a stay in hospital, someone might find they need some help whilst they recuperate. Others can find that a long-term condition or disability means they can no longer cope, and they need a bit of help. After a stay in hospital, someone may carry out an assessment of your situation to see if home care will benefit you. You and your family will be fully involved in looking at what will suit you best if you’d like them to be.

Alternatively, you or those close to you might notice changes in your ability to manage the day-to-day things you normally cope with easily, like preparing meals or looking after yourself. If this happens, contacting your local adult social care department is a good first step towards finding help. How home care can help you The level of home care provided can be tailored to meet your needs – from a visit once a day to a much greater amount of support. Even those with quite significant and debilitating medical conditions can get skilled personal care that can enable them to stay in their own homes. Some agencies will provide live-in care, where a care worker will stay with you at home to support you throughout the day and night. A list of all home care agencies operating in Lancashire starts on page 25.

Finding care in your area Looking for care in your area? Want to know the quality rating of providers you’re considering? Care Choices, publisher of this Directory, has a website providing comprehensive details of care providers as well as essential information. You can search by postcode, county or region for care homes, care homes with nursing and home care providers that meet your needs across the country. Your search can be refined by the type of care you are looking for and the results can be sent to you by email.

The results can also be saved and emailed to others. The website includes detailed information for each care provider, including the address, phone number and the service’s latest CQC inspection report and rating (see page 52), indicating the quality of care that's provided. You can also view an electronic version of this Directory on the site and have it read to you by using the ‘Recite Me’ function. Visit www.carechoices.co.uk



 The Care Quality Commission (www.cqc.org.uk ) is responsible for checking that any care provided meets essential standards of quality and safety. Further information is on page 52. The United Kingdom Homecare Association (UKHCA) requires its members to comply with a code of practice. This code includes a commitment to treat customers with dignity and respect and operate at a level above the legal minimum required in legislation. Social care regulations do not apply to cleaners, handymen or gardeners. However, some home care agencies are increasingly providing staff who can help meet these needs too.

The benefits of using a regulated agency include: • assessing your care needs and tailoring a plan to meet those needs; • advertising, interviewing and screening suitability of workers; • arranging necessary insurance cover; • providing training and development for care workers; • managing workers’ pay, including compliance with the National Minimum Wage; • managing employment relationships, including sickness, absence and disciplinary matters; and • managing health and safety issues.

Living with dementia at home If you are concerned about persistent forgetfulness or memory difficulties, it is important to consult a GP. They can undertake an initial examination and refer you to a memory clinic for further investigation if necessary.

• specialist day centres;

The various types of support available to you and your carer are likely to involve NHS services, your local adult social care department and voluntary agencies. Some examples of services and support to help people living with dementia include:

• meals at home;

• respite care or short breaks; • assistive technology and community alarms; • home care;

• community equipment; • extra care sheltered housing; and • carers’ support groups.

Family support If you know someone who is worried about their memory, encourage them to visit their GP. The more support you can give someone, the better life with dementia can be, especially in the early years. Focus on what the person can do, not what they cannot do, help with little errands or with cooking, listen to the person with dementia, and find out more about the condition.

• freedom from as much external stress as possible; and • appropriate activities and stimulation to help them to remain alert and motivated for as long as possible.

When someone is living with dementia, they need: • support to live their life; • reassurance that they are still valued and that their feelings matter;

Dementia Friends People with dementia sometimes need a helping hand to go about their daily lives and feel included in their local community. Dementia Friends is giving people an understanding

of dementia and the small things they can do that can make a difference to people living with dementia – from helping someone find the right bus to spreading the word about dementia. See www.dementiafriends.org.uk for further information.

Respite care Spouses, partners and relatives who care for a person with dementia may require a break from their caring responsibilities. This is known as ‘respite care’ and may be a regular break of a few hours a week or a period of a few weeks. It may be planned or be required in an emergency and can involve the

person with dementia attending a day centre or a care worker visiting the person’s home to enable the carer to have a break. Contact your local council to see if you are eligible for support with arranging these services. See page 15 for information on assessments of your care needs and finances.

Care at home It can often be best for a person with dementia to stay living in their own home for as long as possible. This may mean that they require some support services at home. The person living with dementia

will respond best to the same care staff who know them well. Continuity of care can be provided by either care agencies or carers employed directly by the person or his or her family.

Specialist dementia day centres A good day care service will be able to offer a range of activities and support that will enable the person with dementia to retain skills and remain part of their local community. Specialist day centres for people with dementia should be organised and run with their needs in mind, aiming to build on their strengths and abilities. Activities may

include outings, entertainment, personal care, meals, hairdressing and support for carers. Attendance at day centres can be offered from just a few hours a week to several days. Contact your local council or your local Alzheimer’s Society office for more details. See ‘Useful local contacts’ beginning on page 83.

Alzheimer’s Society This leading charity works to improve the quality of life of people affected by dementia. If you have concerns about any form of dementia, please contact your local office for information and support and access to local services. See page 83.

For more information on care homes for people with dementia, see page 45.

Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Connect support line is available on 0333 150 3456 and can provide information, support, guidance and signposting to other appropriate organisations. The support line is open from 9.00am to 8.00pm, Monday to Wednesday; 9.00am to 5.00pm, Thursday and Friday; and 10.00am to 4.00pm, Saturday and Sunday. Visit www.carechoices.co.uk for further assistance with your search for care

Paying for care in your home Councils provide upfront information on how much people can expect to pay for home care and how charges are worked out. This information must be made available when a needs assessment is carried out. Written confirmation of how the charge has been calculated must be provided after a financial assessment. If you have more than ÂŁ23,250 in savings or capital, you will have to pay the full cost of your care. The value of your home is not counted when working out charges for non-residential care. If you have more than ÂŁ23,250, you should tell your local adult social care department when your savings are likely to fall below this amount. Councils calculate charges in accordance with national eligibility criteria set by the Government. This ensures people are only required

to pay what they can afford, taking into account capital, income and expenditure. Your assessment looks at how much money you have coming in, gives an allowance (set by the Government) for everyday living expenses and makes allowance for disability-related expenditure. This is the extra amount you spend as a result of your disability or illness. Your local adult social care department can help you to identify these costs. The department will also carry out a full benefit check and, if you want them to, assist you with claiming your full entitlement. Figures mentioned here may change over the lifetime of this Directory.

Non-means-tested care and support Care provided by the NHS is free; for example, services provided by a community or district nurse. Some people do not have to pay towards care services. For example, aftercare services provided under section 117 of the Mental Health Act are free of charge. If you need care or support, you may be eligible to claim Attendance Allowance (AA) or Personal

Independence Payments (PIP). AA and PIP are nonmeans-tested benefits. Provided you are eligible, you can receive AA or PIP regardless of how much income or capital you have. AA is payable to people over the age of 65 and PIP to those aged 16 to 64. There are different rates that can be awarded, dependent on the level and type of help you need. These can be found at www.gov.uk

Other ways to fund your care and support It is important to seek independent financial advice if you are paying for your own care and support. There are independent financial advisers who focus specifically on care funding advice, often referred to as specialist care fees advisers. These advisers are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and must stick to a code of conduct and ethics and take shared responsibility for the suitability of any recommended product.

The Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA) Aims to assist consumers and their families in finding trusted, accredited financial advisers who understand financial needs in later life. Web: www.societyoflaterlifeadvisers.co.uk Further information on paying for care can be found beginning on page 48.

Housing with care Housing with care combines independent living in a home with security of tenure, along with care services arranged according to need. Schemes may be run by housing associations, the local authority,

voluntary organisations or private companies. Properties may be available for rent, mixed tenure or to purchase.

Supported Living Supported Living is a term generally used to describe situations in which people (often adults with a learning disability or mental health condition) rent their home, and their personal care or support is arranged separately. This means they can change their support without having to move or move and take the same support with them. People have greater security of tenure and can claim a wider range of welfare benefits than in residential care. Supported Living can be delivered in a range of settings, including individual flats or houses, clusters

of self-contained flats on the same site, shared accommodation, and extra care housing. The individual, a private landlord, a housing association, a local authority or a charity may own the property. Supported Living refers to the way in which accommodation and support are organised, rather than the amount of support. This will be tailored to individual need and can include access to support 24 hours a day if assessed as necessary, although many people do not require this â€“ particularly with the use of assistive technology (discussed earlier on page 13).

Shared Lives Shared Lives is a service for adults with learning or physical disabilities and for older people. It is familybased care provided by individuals and families.

Shared Lives carers are local people recruited and trained to make sure they have the right qualities to provide care and support.

Sheltered housing Sheltered (or retirement) housing is provided by local authority housing departments and housing associations for older people who would like to remain independent but prefer the added security and reassurance of a scheme manager and an alarm

call service. A scheme manager is either based at the site or visits regularly. Many sheltered housing schemes also have communal lounges, laundry facilities, lifts, door entry systems and specially adapted facilities.

Extra care housing Extra care housing is similar to sheltered schemes, with self-contained accommodation together with some communal facilities. In an extra care scheme, instead of low-level support traditionally provided by wardens in sheltered schemes, higher levels of care and support are provided on site by a designated team of care workers, who can be available 24 hours a day.

Extra care allows you to retain your own tenancy and have care services delivered, ensuring that you can remain safely in your own self-contained accommodation. For information on any of the housing options in this section, contact your local adult social care department. Details are on page 5.

Your local council might be able to signpost you to local services and assess your needs in case help is available to you.

Planning for end of life Although the subject of dying is often painful to contemplate, planning for the end of life can be a good way to share your wishes and help your family to know what you would like. Good planning for all your needs should mean that you can convey your wishes, including where you would like to die if you choose. You may wish to remain in your own home or care home in your last days and not be admitted to hospital. When choosing a service, you should consider its end of life care philosophy and policies. Enabling people to die in comfort and with dignity is a core part of providing care. The way care professionals approach the process will be incredibly important for you, your family and carers. The service should have an open approach to end of life care. It should initiate conversation with you and your family and work with your GP to ensure your needs and wishes are discussed and planned for. An end of life care plan should also be drawn up, as it is vital to establish your preferences and choices. Search online for the Preferred Priorities for Care (PPC) document to help with outlining your wishes. The PPC document is designed to help you prepare for the future and gives you an opportunity to think about, talk about and write down your preferences and priorities for care at the end of life. It is also important to know that all health and social care staff must be trained in communication regarding end of life care and will be trained in assessing the needs of individuals and carers.

Tell us what you think

It is worth asking care providers whether they are working towards The Gold Standards Framework. This can be used in various settings, for example hospitals, primary care and care homes, to improve the co-ordination and communication between different organisations involved in providing care for someone near the end of their life. Planning for your funeral While you are thinking about the future, you may want to consider writing down your wishes for your funeral. This can help to alleviate pressures on your family. Your family may appreciate knowing your wishes and that they can make sure they are considered at your funeral. By detailing your wishes, your family can be comforted by the fact that they don’t need to make all the decisions about what you would have liked or wonder whether they are making the right choices. Things to consider are included in ‘My Funeral Wishes’, a form produced by Dying Matters and the National Association of Funeral Directors. Visit www.dyingmatters.org/ page/my-funeral-wishes You do not have to instruct a funeral director but, if you do, ensure that the director you choose is a member of either the National Association of Funeral Directors or The National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors. These associations have strict guidelines that members must adhere to. See page 86 for details of organisations that may be able to help you plan for the end of your life or your funeral.

Care homes All care homes and agencies providing care at home in England must be registered with the independent regulator, the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The CQC inspects every care home and home care

agency, publishing a report along with a rating. CQC quality ratings must be displayed at the operator’s premises and on its website. You can also find inspection reports and ratings for all services on the CQC’s website (www.cqc.org.uk ).

Types of care home Care homes (personal care only) If you need someone to look after you 24 hours a day, but don’t need nursing care, a care home offering only personal care may be the best option. Personal care includes bathing, feeding, dressing and help with moving. It is a good idea to have a needs assessment before you choose a care home to ensure it is the best way to meet your needs. See page 15 for more on assessments. Care homes with nursing A care home with nursing provides the same care and support as a care home offering personal care, but with 24-hour nursing staff on hand. If you think you may need nursing care in a home, you will need to be visited by a social worker or a care manager to work out what care you will need. This visit might be

in your own home, or in hospital if you’ve been ill, or in a care home. You will be fully involved in planning for your care needs. If, after a needs assessment, a care home providing nursing care is the best solution for you, a social worker will give you information to help you find a home which meets your care requirements. The cost of the nursing care part of your fees may be paid by the NHS to the home directly: the current amount is £183.92 per week. This figure may change over the lifetime of this Directory, so do check with your local adult social care department. For help with finding care homes and care homes with nursing in your area, visit www.carechoices.co.uk

Activities in care homes The word ‘activity’ can imply many different things but, in the context of a care home, it should mean everything a resident does from when they open their eyes in the morning until they go to sleep at night. Activities should stimulate residents emotionally, physically and mentally and, in a good care home, should encompass all aspects of daily life. Activities can range from choosing what to wear, to helping with tasks around the home or garden, to listening to the radio or joining in with an art or exercise class.

Lots of care homes now employ a dedicated activity co-ordinator. The role of an activity co-ordinator varies from one home to another. Increasingly, activity co-ordinators are fully integrated into the staff team, play a key part in developing care plans and ensure that all staff appreciate the part they play in delivering high-quality activity provision. Ensure you speak to any potential providers about the activities provided in their care home.

Above all, activities provide a point of interest, fun and challenge to each day. Activities should enable people to participate in daily life, be engaged and maintain hobbies or activities they have enjoyed throughout their life, as well as offering the opportunity to try something new, if they wish.

Care homes and dementia A good care home will follow the concept of a person-centred approach to care for people living with dementia. This means that the unique qualities and interests of each individual will be identified, understood and accounted for in any care planning. The person living with dementia will have an assessment and an ongoing personalised care plan, agreed across health and social care. This should identify a named care co-ordinator and addresses their individual needs. The person living with dementia must also have the opportunity to discuss and make decisions, together with their carers, about the use of advance statements, advance decisions to refuse treatment, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Preferred Priorities for Care. For more information on these last two topics, see pages 51 and 39 respectively. It is important that care and support options are tailored to the needs of the individual. Make sure staff get to know the person you care for by providing life story books, telling staff about their likes and dislikes and providing belongings that bring comfort and have meaning for them.

Within the home, much is down to the attitude and skills of the manager and the staff. Does the home provide an environment that enables a person living with dementia to exercise choice and personal preferences even in the later stages of the condition? Who is the person in charge of championing dementia care best practice in the home? Further questions to consider are included in the residential dementia care checklist on page 47. Design and technology The design of a care home specialising in dementia needs to be based on small group living, preferably with accommodation on one level and with opportunities to go in and out of the building within a safe environment. Plenty of natural light and an easy way of finding one’s way around the building and grounds are essential for minimising disorientation. Staff training Dementia-specific training is essential to ensure that care home staff understand how best to support and care for people with dementia. Ask to speak with the Dementia Champion and question the placement if the home does not have a specific Dementia Lead.

Paying for care When a local authority provides or arranges your care services, you may be asked to contribute

towards the cost of care at home or in a care home, depending on your personal circumstances.

Financial assessment To determine whether or not you will need to contribute towards the cost of your support, your local council will conduct a financial assessment. This will look at your capital, savings and income. Most people are likely to have to contribute something towards the cost of their care. The value of your home is included as part of your capital in this assessment if you are moving into residential care, except in limited circumstances. It is not included if you are receiving care in your own home. If you choose not to have a financial assessment, you will pay the full cost of your care and support. If you have capital and savings of less than £14,250, you may be asked to contribute part of your income and the local authority may meet the shortfall. If you have capital and savings between £14,250 and £23,250, you are likely to have to contribute towards the cost of your care. You may need to contribute part of your income, and a sliding scale operates whereby you contribute £1 for each £250 you have in capital and savings above the lower figure.

If your capital and savings amount to more than £23,250, you will likely have to pay the full cost of your care yourself. However, you are still entitled to an assessment of your needs by your local council and you may be able to get some support with funding your care. See page 49. These figures may change during the lifetime of this Directory. If you are eligible for support from your local council and you are moving into a care home or care home with nursing, you will be given a choice of homes that charge the amount your local council would usually pay for someone with your needs. If the home you choose charges a fee in excess of the local authority’s funding limit, you will need to find someone else to meet the additional amount. This is often referred to as a ‘third party payment’ or ‘top-up’ (explained further on page 49).

Running out of money If your capital and savings are likely to reduce to £23,250 through payment of care home fees, you must let your local council know well in advance. It must undertake an assessment of your circumstances before deciding if it will make a contribution.

Understanding your rights before moving into care is essential. There are several financial products and specialist companies that may be able to help. It is important to seek independent financial and legal advice before committing yourself to anything. See page 50 for more information.

If you become eligible for your local council’s support with funding your care, and the home you are living in charges more than your local council’s fee levels, you must find someone to help pay the difference. This is known as a ‘top-up’ or ‘third party payment’. See page 49 for more information. If funds for a top-up are not available, you will need to find accommodation which can meet your needs at the local authority fee level.

Se a rch f or ca r e a t www. ca re c h o i c e s .c o .u k t o fi n d s u p p o r t i n y o u r are a

Non-means-tested support Some support may be available to you without your local council needing to look into your finances. Benefits Attendance Allowance and Personal Independence Payments are non-means-tested, non-taxable benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions. There are different rates depending on the level of your needs. Everyone who needs care should consider claiming these benefits; however, they will not be paid if you are, or become, a permanent resident in a care home. If you are entitled to the mobility component of Personal Independence Payment, this payment will not stop once you are in a care home and is not

included in your financial assessment. You may also want to consider applying for Universal Credit (if you are under pension age) or Pension Credit (if you are over pension age). NHS Continuing Healthcare NHS Continuing Healthcare is fully funded care and support, provided and paid for by the NHS. To be eligible, your needs must be primarily health-related and are likely to be severe. If you are eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare, you can receive the services in any setting, including your own home or in a care home. The NHS will pay if you need healthcare from a community nurse or a therapist as well as personal care to help you at home.

Self-funding your care Paying for care can be an expensive and long-term commitment, so councils strongly recommend that you seek specialist information and advice before entering into any arrangements. It is important that you seek specialist advice from appropriately qualified and regulated financial advisers. See page 50 for suggested contacts. Twelve-week property disregard If your former home is included in your financial assessment but your other capital and savings are less than £23,250, and your income is not enough to meet your care home fees, your local council may share the cost of the first 12 weeks of permanent care, provided it agrees that care is needed. Deferred Payment Agreements After the twelve-week property disregard period, you may be offered a Deferred Payment Agreement.

This allows you to delay selling your former home during your lifetime. Any fees paid by your local council will be charged against the value of your home and must be repaid once the house is sold or from your estate. Interest is payable throughout the period of the loan and there is also a one-off fee to join the scheme which covers all legal and administrative costs for the lifetime of the loan. Your local council may limit the amount of the loan, depending on the equity in your property. NHS Nursing Care Contribution Whether you are a temporary or permanent resident, if you live in a care home that provides nursing care, you may be entitled to a non-means-tested Registered Nursing Care Contribution (sometimes referred to as Funded Nursing Care) towards the cost of your nursing care. This is paid directly to the home.

Third party payments If you are eligible for your local council’s support, you will be offered a choice of homes that meet the local authority’s funding rates. If you decide to live in a more expensive home and someone is able to make an additional payment for you, they will have to pay the local authority the difference between its rate and the amount the home charges.

This additional payment is called a ‘top-up’ or ‘third party payment’. You are not allowed to make this additional payment yourself, except in limited circumstances, so the responsibility usually falls to a family member, friend or charity. 

Visit www.carechoices.co.uk for further assistance with your search for care

ď‚˘ Before anyone agrees to pay your top-up, they should be aware that the amount may increase, usually once a year, and they need to be confident that they can sustain the payments for as long as they are required. The responsible person will need to sign a contract with the local council to confirm that they are able to do this. If the additional payments stop being paid for any reason, then you should seek help and advice from your local council. You may have to move to a cheaper home within the local authorityâ€™s funding levels.

If you are already resident in a care home, and no top-up was required at the time you became a resident, the home may seek to introduce one at a later date, which would need to be agreed first with the local authority. This may happen if a change to your arrangements is made at your request or with your agreement, for example you may move to a nicer room. It is important to note that councils have a duty to offer you a place at a home that accepts their funding rates. If no such place is available, a top-up should not be charged.

Seeking financial advice Planning for your future care and support needs can be complicated and funding care can be expensive. Professional advice may be helpful in enabling you (and your family) to identify the most suitable and cost-effective solution. Everyone is encouraged to seek unbiased, expert advice from independent financial advisers to help work out how to pay for long-term care. Independent financial advisers are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and must take shared responsibility for the suitability of any recommended product. Unlike advisers who are tied to particular providers, specialist care-fees advisers can offer advice on products from across the whole market. A list of independent financial advisers who are accredited by the Society of Later Life Advisers can

be found at www.societyoflaterlifeadvisers.co.uk or you can call 0333 202 0454. There are also several organisations that will provide free advice about funding care and support. These organisations are a good place to start if you are looking for information and want to see what sort of options are available.

How solicitors can help A solicitor can give you impartial advice about wills, gifts, estate planning and powers of attorney. Some can also offer guidance on immediate and long-term care plans, ensuring (if applicable) the NHS has made the correct contribution to your fees. Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) allow you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions about your personal welfare, including healthcare and consent to medical treatment, and/or your property and financial affairs. An LPA is only valid once registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. It allows a person of your choice to make decisions on your behalf at a time when you may be unable to. The Court of Protection can issue Orders directing the management of a person’s property and financial affairs if they are incapable of managing their own affairs and should they not have an LPA. The Court procedure is presently very slow and the fees are quite expensive, so preparing an LPA is always advisable, providing you have somebody sufficiently trustworthy to appoint as your attorney. An ‘advance directive’ allows you to communicate your wishes in respect of future medical treatment but it is not legally binding. You may instead wish to make a living will, properly known as an ‘advance decision’, setting

out treatment that you do not want to receive in specified circumstances, which would legally have to be followed, even if you die as a result. Any proposed gift out of your estate needs careful consideration of the benefits, risks and implications, particularly on any future liability for care costs or tax liability. If you don’t have your own solicitor, ask family or friends for their recommendations. Contact several firms, explain your situation and ask for an estimate of cost and an idea of timescales involved. Many firms will make home visits if necessary and will adapt their communications to meet your needs. It’s important to find a solicitor who specialises in this area of the law. Citizens Advice offers an advice service and will be able to recommend solicitors in your area. Visit www.citizensadvice.org.uk

Comments, compliments and complaints You should feel able to complain about any aspect of your support which affects your happiness or comfort. This might be anything from the way you are treated by staff to the quality of the food you are served. You should also feel free to make comments and suggestions about possible improvements to your surroundings and the services provided. Making a complaint should not be made difficult for you and should not affect the standard of care that you receive whether in your own home or in a care home or care home with nursing. Care services are required under national essential standards of

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

Visit www.carechoices.co.uk for further assistance with your search for care

 If you have a complaint about a breach of regulations, contact your local office of the Care Quality Commission (see below for more information about the CQC). If your local authority has arranged and funded a place for you in a care home or has contributed to a home care service, another option is to speak to your local council.

Inspecting and regulating care services Health and social care services must be registered to show that they meet a set of standards. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. It registers care providers and inspects and rates services. When things go wrong, the CQC can also take action to protect people who use services.

easily see where a service is performing well, and where it needs to improve.

After an inspection of a care home or home care agency, the CQC publishes a report of what it found. The report looks at how well the service meets the CQC’s five key questions: Is the service safe? Effective? Caring? Responsive to people’s needs? Well-led?

You can also tell the CQC about your experiences of care – good or bad. It can use your information to see where it should inspect next, and what to look out for when it does. If you want to share your experience of care, visit www.cqc.org.uk/share

Each care home and home care agency will get an overall rating of outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate. It will also get ratings for each key question. The ratings mean you can

It’s always a good idea to check inspection reports and ratings when choosing a care service. You can find reports and ratings on the CQC’s website (www.cqc.org.uk ). Care providers must also display their latest rating at their premises and on their website.

Out-of-county care You can choose a care home outside your home county. You may want to be closer to friends, family members or you may want to relocate to another part of the country. If your care home place is state-funded, speak to the local authority about who is responsible for your care fees, especially if you choose a care home in another region. Any home you choose must be

suitable for your assessed needs and comply with the paying authority’s terms and conditions. You should seek further advice before making your decision. For help finding care providers in Lancashire and other regions, visit www.carechoices.co.uk with details of your requirements.

Protecting vulnerable adults Vulnerable adults may experience abuse, neglect and worse. A vulnerable adult is a person aged 18 years or over who may be unable to take care of themselves or protect themselves from harm or from being exploited. What is adult abuse? Abuse is mistreatment that violates a person’s human and civil rights. The abuse can vary from treating someone with disrespect in a way which significantly affects the person’s quality of life, to causing actual physical suffering. It can happen anywhere – at home, in a care home or a care home with nursing, a hospital, in the workplace, at a day centre or educational establishment, in supported housing or in the street. Forms of abuse could be physical, sexual, psychological, emotional or financial. It could also cover the issues of modern slavery, self-neglect and institutional abuse – where the abuse affects more than one person within an organisation and is not addressed by the service’s management. Who might be causing the abuse? The person who is responsible for the abuse may be known to the person abused and could be: • a care worker or volunteer; • a health worker, social care or other worker; • a relative, friend or neighbour; • another resident or service user; • an occasional visitor or someone who is providing a service; or

• someone who deliberately exploits vulnerable people. If you think someone is being abused, contact your local council.

If the abuse is also a crime such as assault, racial harassment, rape or theft you should involve the police to prevent someone else from being abused. If the police are involved, your local adult social care department will work with the police and with you to provide support.

“Very helpful staﬀ. Cannot do enough for residents and family. They are always smiling!” During the Covid-19 pandemic, our caring teams have worked tirelessly to ensure our residents remain safe and happy, whilst finding new ways for them to stay connected with their loved ones. Lesley, the daughter of a resident at Shawcross Care Home in Wigan said, “The staff are all fantastic and treat Mum with the respect she deserves. Some of them even know Mum better than me, which is great.” From vibrant Harvest Festival celebrations to arts, crafts and exercise classes, our creative teams have helped keep spirits up and ensure residents are never without something to do. Resident’s wife Angela, commended the team at St Catherines saying, My husband has been in St Catherine’s for about 18 months. I am really happy with his care and the staff are great. I have no hesitation in recommending the home to anyone.”

During this time, our homes have explored the use of technology to help residents feel more connected to their families. As well as the usual phone and video calls, we have set up dedicated private Facebook groups for families to share photos and messages. Residents’ daughter, Wendy said of Preston Glades, “Video calls were arranged by one of the carers and during these calls the level of care provided was obvious. Mum was calm and settled and I was reassured that we had made the right choice for her.” Our caring teams are always ready to welcome new residents into our homes. We care for individuals with a variety of care needs including: Nursing, Dementia Nursing and Respite Care.
