Choosing the right Care Home

It's often a very stressful time for people when they are choosing a Care or Nursing Home. This could be because of the death of a carer to due to a recent illness or accident.

At this difficult time people are therefore looking for a Home who:

- Understands their needs
- Has a good reputation
- Is situated in a convenient location
- Will be able to provide them with security, protection and peace of mind

Based on these requirements someone looking for a Care Home may speak to:

- Friends and relatives for Homes they recommend
- To either their own GP or GP's in a particular location
- Their local Social Services Department who can provide lists of registered homes
- The Elderly Accommodation Counsel on 0207 820 1343 for a list of homes
- The Registered Nursing Homes Association on 0121 454 2511 for a list of registered Nursing Homes

What questions are you likely to be asked?

When people are deciding which home to use, questions they are likely to be asked include:

- Is it in a good location?
- Is it easy to get to?
- Is it in a quiet area?
- Does it have nice views?

- Is the Care Home clean with attractive décor?
- Is it bright and airy?
- Does it feel safe and welcoming?

- Do you offer a wide range of activities and outings?
- Is sufficient medical help available?
- Can residents have their own GP?
- Does the Care Home provide transport?

- How much are the fees?
- Are they payable in advance?
- Will the Care Home provide a written contract of the care provided?

These are just a few of the many questions people will ask of a home they are looking at. Whilst the answers to these questions won't necessarily affect your insurance premiums good health and safety and security within your home can.
