Welcome from Norfolk County Council and the NHS in Norfolk Welcome to the 2014 edition of the Norfolk Care and Support Services Directory which we hope will provide you, or a relative or friend, with useful information about care and support options in the County as well as details about other organisations that can help you.

We are committed to helping people in Norfolk maintain their independence for as long as possible and enjoy the best possible quality of life. We know that many people in Norfolk have both health and social care needs so we are working very closely together to join up health and social care services to give you the best care based on your individual circumstances and to make sure you have the right care and support when you need it. We are working together to provide a range of services that help you to maintain your independence, improve your quality of life and to put you at the centre of decisions about your care and support choices.

An example of a service we fund together is The Norfolk First Response service, which was launched in June 2013, bringing together two successful services: a 24 hour urgent, but non-emergency, service to people in their own homes as well as a short-term intensive service for up to six weeks to help people regain as much independence as possible, for example returning home after leaving hospital. More information about this service can be found on page 10.

We work closely with the Care Quality Commission and care and support providers to make sure that high quality services are maintained. We are delighted that Norfolk’s Harwood Care and Support Charter is now in place. It was produced with input from people who receive care and support services, carers and representatives from organisations providing care and support in Norfolk.

The Charter sets out principles for how providers should work to ensure people are at the centre of their care. Care and support providers who sign up to the Charter are

committed to listening to people who use their services and responding to their needs. Providers sign up to The Charter on a voluntary basis and we will be checking how it has been working over the coming year. For further information, see page 8.

Trying to find the right care and support options isn’t always easy but we are pleased to support this Directory as a useful source of information which we hope you will find helpful. Please do contact us (see below) if you need any further information.

Arranging your care How do I access services and get help and support?

If you contact Adult Social Care to ask for help and support you will firstly speak to one of our specialist advisers who can talk to you about your situation. They may be able to point you in the direction of help and support that you can access for yourself. If the adviser thinks that you might need support or services from us you will need to have an assessment of your needs.

An assessment can be carried out over the telephone, or in more complex cases, we will arrange to do this faceto-face. In either situation you will be asked about your personal circumstances and current situation. You will be asked to describe what your care needs are and what you believe will be of help to you to meet these needs.

It will be explained to you that Norfolk County Council has an eligibility criteria as our priority is to help the most vulnerable people.

The eligibility criteria describes how serious a risk to your independence there is if your needs are not addressed immediately or in the near future.

The levels of risk are in four categories, these are: • ‘Critical’; • ‘Substantial’; • ‘Moderate’; and • ‘Low’.

6

These definitions are taken from guidance issued by the Department of Health. The full guidance can be found on the Department of Health website www.dh.gov.uk.

If our assessment is that the risk is ‘critical’ or ‘substantial’, then it is likely that you will be eligible for our social care services. You may still need to pay towards the cost of your services. You can find out more about charging here: www.norfolk.gov.uk.

For those who have a ‘moderate’ or ‘low’ level of risk, we will provide advice and information about the help that may be available for you.

We can give you and your carer information and advice, whatever your needs. We can also put you in touch with other organisations that may be able to help you.

We will discuss with you the options available to meet your needs. It may be that other voluntary agencies will be able to help and we can provide this information.

We will also advise you about Norfolk County Council’s charging policy as you may have to pay for some or all of the social care services you need.

To read the ‘Fairer Charging Policy for Home Care and other Non-Residential Care Social Services’ document, visit the website: www.norfolk.gov.uk/adultcare.

Your choices Those people who have had an assessment from Adult Social Care and are found to be eligible for services have a choice about how the service(s) is arranged for them.

You can choose: • To arrange one or more services yourself. In this instance, we will arrange to pay you or an agent acting on your behalf a Personal Budget in the form of Direct Payments to meet the needs we have identified in your Support Plan. This will enable you to have more control over the care that you receive, how and when you receive it.

• For Adult Social Care to arrange (on your behalf ) one or more services to be provided to you, via your Personal

Budget in the form of a directly-commissioned service.

This means that we will make all the arrangements with one or more organisations to meet the needs we have identified in your Support Plan.

We have a Care Arranging Service which helps us to find suitable organisations to meet your needs and they will send out a copy of your Support Plan with details of the organisations we have arranged to support you.

After your Personal Budget has been arranged, a care assessor will contact you again to ensure you are satisfied with the service you are receiving. See page 36 for more information on Personal Budgets and page 37 for further details about Direct Payments.

The Harwood Care and Support Charter The Harwood Care and Support Charter is named in honour of the late David Harwood, the County Council Cabinet Member who championed the idea. It was produced with input from people who receive care and support services, carers and representatives from organisations providing care and support in Norfolk.

The Charter sets out principles for how care providers should work to ensure people are at the centre of their care.

Being a Charter signatory demonstrates to people using services that an organisation or individual is committed to ensuring people who receive care and support services in Norfolk have the high quality services that they want.

What are the principles?

Signatories to the Charter are committed to: • listening to people and responding to their needs; • treating people with respect, dignity and courtesy; • making sure people are not left unsupported; • telling people how much services cost and how to access financial assistance; • making sure staff are properly trained and Police checked; and • reporting back to commissioners where things work well or could be developed to better meet needs.

So far, 55 organisations have signed up, including private, voluntary and statutory providers.

How a provider can sign up to the Charter First, a provider must confirm support of the Charter, which can be done by email. We will then add their name to the published list of signatories.

They can then use the Charter logo to let people know they have signed up and can also display a copy of the Charter.

They need to make their staff aware of the Charter and what this means for them on a day to day basis. Also make sure their staff use the Charter card with people using their services.

Last, but certainly not least, they must provide feedback to the County Council about the areas for service improvement and development which they come across through using the Charter way of working.

Find out more about the Charter at www.norfolk. gov.uk/carecharter or email for more information to carecharter@norfolk.gov.uk.

Staying in your own home Home care Also known as domiciliary care or home support, home care provides practical help for people to stay independent

at home, in housing with care and supported living.

Examples of the sorts of services that home care can

This Directory’s helpline 0800 389 2077 – information on choosing and paying for care

Home care continued include are: • Personal care - such as help with getting up or going to bed, bathing, dressing, showering and going to the toilet.

• Food and drink - such as help with eating, special diets, different types of meal services, menu planning, help to prepare and cook food.

• Health-related tasks - such as help with prescribed medication, reminding you when medication needs to be taken, applying creams and lotions, simple dressings and eye drops.

• Personal assistance - such as help with surgical appliances and getting around your home using a hoist.

• Domestic tasks - such as washing up, lighting fires / helping you stay warm, washing clothes or soiled linen.

• Night Care or Night Sitting Services - which means a home care assistant in your home during all or part

of the night to make sure you are safe and provide personal care services listed above.

• Live-in care - in some cases it’s preferable and more economic to have a carer actually living in the home 24 hours a day. This can be for a short period e.g. to provide respite breaks for regular carers and short-term support following hospital discharge or on an ongoing basis.

Home care charges If you have made a private arrangement with a provider you will pay the full cost of the service to the provider.

If Adult Social Care are contributing towards the cost of your service then it is likely that you will be charged for the services provided, based on your financial circumstances. You should be given clear information about what you can expect to pay.

Typical charges for this service depend on the amount of care and the particular skills required.

Older People’s Community Outreach Service The Community Outreach Service for older people was launched in 2012 and supports vulnerable people who live in their own homes but might need some extra help to live full and active lives in their communities.

The support service, which is free to use for up to two years, has been created and funded by Norfolk County Council. Trained staff or volunteers visit older people in their own home and provide them with help and advice on areas which can become challenging in older age. These could include personal safety and security, managing finances, using health or legal services, social or community activities, making adaptations to their home and measures to reduce the risk of falls at home.

If you think you or someone you know might benefit from the Older People’s Community Outreach Service, please contact:

• In North, South and West Norfolk: British Red Cross by ringing 0844 893 7779 or emailing supportnorfolk@ redcross.org.uk. Visit www.redcross.org.uk/ supportnorfolk for more information.

as support around their physical and mental health.

Who provides home care?

A comprehensive list of home care providers in Norfolk starts on page 13 or can be accessed via the website: www.norfolk.gov.uk.

Before you make any decisions regarding the provision of care, be sure to contact several providers and ask for a ‘Service User’s Guide’ and their charges and a draft contract between you and the care provider.

Norfolk County Council commissions the independent

sector to support the people of Norfolk to lead independent and dignified lives at home.

All home care providers are regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission who publish inspection reports on its website www.cqc.org.uk. When considering a service it’s always a good idea to check its report. For more information on the CQC, see page 40.

What can I do if I need urgent help?

Case study When Fred (73) had a fall, he pressed his alarm pendant for help. He wasn’t seriously injured and didn’t need an ambulance, so the Norfolk Swift team came to help him.

They used inflatable lifting equipment to help him up off the floor and made sure he was ok. Because Fred had experienced a previous fall, the Swifts suggested a referral to the Falls Team to look at ways of reducing the risk of falls around the home.

Who can get assistance from Norfolk Swift Response?

• older people; • people with physical illness or disabilities; • people with learning difficulties; and • people with mental health issues.

How much does it cost?

Norfolk Swift Response is a free service for people living in Norfolk.

10

To contact Norfolk Swift Response tel: 01603 222334.

There is an emergency telephone service for outside normal office hours on 0344 800 8020. It is for people who are in danger or are unable to remain at home without immediate help. If you call outside normal office hours and can reasonably wait until the next working day, we will ask you to call back.

The Norfolk First Response Service combines two services, Norfolk Swift Response and Norfolk First Support, aiming to help you remain independent in your own home.

Norfolk Swift Response is a 24 hour service that provides help, support and reassurance if you have an urgent, unplanned need at home, but don’t need the emergency services.

So for example, if your partner or carer is suddenly admitted to hospital, the Swift Response team can assist you with getting up and washing and dressing. Or if you have a fall but are not seriously injured, the team can bring special lifting equipment to help make moving as safe as possible for you.

Keeping independent Norfolk Home Shield Norfolk Home Shield is a cross-agency referral service for vulnerable and older people and their carers. The service is supported and coordinated through a group of partner agencies to help with:

• Helping you protect yourself from scams or other forms of ‘rogue’ trading.

• Health and well-being.

• Checking for any fire or trip hazards in your home.

• Helping you live independently in your own home.

• Identifying problems before they become acute.

• Referring people with unmet needs to the right support services.

• Checking that you are receiving the income and benefits to which you are entitled.

• Ensuring you get regular hot meals and help with grocery shopping.

• Advising on how to keep your house warm and have access to hot water and toilet facilities.

• Helping you to have regular contact with other people.

• Ensuring you are able to secure your house against

unwelcome visitors.

• Ensuring you have a working smoke alarm.

If a front line officer, in the course of their ordinary business, finds that you have a need which he/she cannot address but which could be fulfilled by another organisation, the officer will refer it, via Home Shield.

An officer will briefly explain Home Shield to you and complete the referral form. You will then be requested to sign the form in order to show that you have agreed to your details being referred to partner agencies.

To contact Norfolk Home Shield: Tel: 01603 638455 Email: homeshield@norfolk.gov.uk

Day opportunities Day opportunities are provided in a variety of locations, ranging from care homes and care homes with nursing to community hubs and other centres. The services aim to help people live as independently as possible. If you have a learning or physical disability or if you are an older person, Adult Social Care will help to support you in finding activities which will help promote independence.

To be eligible for day services we will have to assess your needs. This means we will have a discussion with you to agree with you the best way of organising support. We will consider your needs and decide

together what services might be suitable for you. If we conclude that you do have eligible social care needs, you will be allocated a sum of money - known as a Personal Budget – to spend on getting your needs met. You will be offered the chance to take this as a cash sum – known as a Direct Payment – or you can ask us to arrange the services on your behalf, or a mixture of both (see page 37 for further information).

While day centres provide an excellent service, you can use your Personal Budget to pay for any arrangement that meets your social care need for a day activity.

Meals on wheels and lunch clubs If you are looking for meals on wheels deliveries for yourself or someone you know, then Norfolk’s Trading Standards Trusted Trader website gives details of trustworthy meal suppliers offering deliveries of hot, chilled and frozen meals. Whilst these meal delivery services are appropriate for older, more vulnerable people, they are available to anyone wishing to purchase meals.

The cost of a meal delivery varies according to personal choice.

For full details of Trusted Trader meal suppliers and

the areas they deliver to, please visit the Trusted Trader website at www.norfolk.gov.uk/trustedtrader.

If you are looking for lunch opportunities, then the online Norfolk County Council Adult Care Directory provides a comprehensive list of lunch clubs around Norfolk: www.norfolk.gov.uk/communitymeals.

Alternatively, for further information about meals on wheels or lunch clubs across Norfolk please contact Norfolk County Council on 0344 800 8020.

Norfolk Trusted Trader Scheme This is a county-wide service, free to Norfolk residents, provided by Norfolk County Council. It is aimed at helping older and vulnerable people remain safe and independent in their own homes. It is a directory of reliable providers – businesses and voluntary agencies – who meet the scheme’s standards. They provide a wide range of services such as domestic help, window cleaning, help with shopping, bathing and gardening, handyperson and painting and decorating.

All the traders in the directory have gone through a process of accreditation requiring background checks to be carried out by Trading Standards, and they must have an appropriate level of public liability in place. They are also required to sign up to the core standards of the Norfolk Trusted Trader Scheme, which includes having a clear pricing policy, providing written receipts and ensuring that employees are appropriately trained to

carry out their work effectively.

Traders must also provide their customers with feedback forms which are then published on the Norfolk Trusted Trader website.

For more information on the Trusted Trader scheme, visit: www.norfolk.gov.uk/trustedtrader or request a copy of the directory by contacting our Customer Service Centre on 0344 800 8020.

Norfolk library and information service There are 47 libraries in Norfolk, your local library has something for everyone and it’s free to join. When you join the library you can use any Norfolk library to borrow and access a wonderful range of books, large print books, E-books, CDs, DVDs and access to the internet.

There are 11 public mobile library vans that call at 2,000 stops around the County. All mobile library vans are equipped with a lift for people with mobility problems and wheelchair users.

There is also a home library service provided in association with the RVS which provides books on wheels to the houses of people who are unable to get to a branch or mobile library due to age, disability or mobility.

If you would like to use this service please contact 01603 660945.

In all of our libraries staff will be able to give you more information on the range of services we provide, such as:

• How to join a book group.

• How to use the on-line library service from home to request and renew books and access E-books.

• Information about activities and events in libraries, such as knit and knatter groups and computer courses.

• Reminiscence kits and packs available to borrow which contain a variety of multi-sensory triggers and are particularly beneficial for individuals at various stages of memory loss and those with communication difficulties.

• ‘Reading Well Books on Prescription’ – recommended self-help reading for adults on topics such as anxiety and depression.

Please have a look at the library website for full details of all services, library opening times and mobile library stopping places and times. Visit the website: www.norfolk.gov.uk/libraries.

Norfolk Libraries’ Reading Well Books on Prescription scheme What is Reading Well Books on Prescription?

Norfolk libraries take part in a national scheme called Reading Well Books on Prescription. Reading Well Books on Prescription provides self-help reading for adults on a range of common mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, phobias and some eating disorders.

How does it work?

GPs and health professionals can prescribe a book to

22

patients from the core list that they can borrow from the library. Anyone in the community can also self-prescribe by choosing and reserving books through the library website free of charge.

The books have been recommended by experts. They have been tried and tested and found to be useful by others. Visit the website: http://readingagency.org. uk/adults/quick-guides/reading-well/ for further information.

Assistive technology and community alarms Assistive technology services help vulnerable people, particularly older people, to live in their own homes with greater safety and independence.

They use a range of technologies that raise an alarm to get help for someone 24 hours a day and so provide help, security and peace of mind. Special equipment can be linked to your telephone system so you can get help quickly if you need it, even if you are unable to speak. For some of the equipment you do not even have to press a button to call for help as sensors will automatically detect things such as floods, carbon monoxide escapes or if you fall.

There are different types of assistive technology depending on your needs, from simple battery operated items for use within the home to more complex telecare equipment that links through your telephone to a community alarm service centre.

The equipment can help with things like memory issues, mobility or risk of falling, safety in the home as well as supporting carers.

Services can be provided for free if you have been assessed as eligible for help although there is a small charge for the community alarm monitoring service if this is used.

Alternatively you can purchase the equipment directly.

There is a demonstration centre available to view the equipment and speak to a specialist for advice.

The assessment is carried out by a company called n-able using skilled and experienced practitioners who are also able to advise you and provide the equipment.

monitoring. Telehealth enables regular assessment of your condition without the need for you to visit the GP surgery, or clinic.

A small touch-screen device is installed in your home so your GP, community or specialist nurse, can check readings of your blood pressure, pulse, weight, temperature, the amount of oxygen in your blood and even your blood sugar levels. These results are transmitted to a secure computer where they can be accessed at the clinic or surgery.

Using the information collected through the telehealth monitor, it is possible to detect changes in your condition.

These help your healthcare professional respond earlier and make changes to your treatment or medication which may reduce or prevent symptoms from getting worse or lead to a hospital admission.

By using telehealth, you and your carer can become more actively involved in your care, and you should experience some improvements in your quality of life and overall symptom management. It could also reduce the number of visits you have to make to the GP surgery or outpatient clinic, and help you to maintain your independence.

For more information talk to your GP or community/ specialist nurse.

We care.

We care passionately about helping people who require any type of care equipment whether elderly, disabled or receiving on-going care, whether they are in their own homes, in sheltered housing or in residential homes.

Some of our equipment is of direct help to the user, some provides assistance or alerts to carers at home or in residential establishments; in either case you can be assured of our personal service and our commitment to helping keep down the cost of care.

Comprehensive range No matter what your care equipment needs, N-able is the only local supplier who can provide a comprehensive range of equipment and service, technical products, service and maintenance and assessment - via qualified Practitioners - for both care homes and individuals.

Our range of all care equipment is competitively priced and quality tested for individuals or care establishments. We supply mobility, bathing, all

hoisting (mobile, ceiling track, bath), stair lifts, curved and straight, step lifts all via a detailed quote and simple adaptations such as grab rails. Call or email us our qualified staff are here to help and advise.

Our team of assistive technology practitioners can advise on the range of equipment we offer which includes community alarms, bed occupancy sensors, falls detectors, motion sensors, flood detectors, temperature sensors, clocks and phones for the visually or cognitively impaired, video intercoms and a wide range of assistive technology items.

Flexibility and choice We do not just stock a single manufacturer’s product range and are happy to source and supply equipment that best suits the user and their living/working environment.

Value We are owned by Norfolk County Council, and therefore have a more competitive pricing policy, which means both professional and personal care budgets go further. We are taking a ‘Social Enterprise’ model in our approach, whereby we share our profits by paying back surpluses to our partner organisations to help support people in the Norfolk community.

For all your care needs, call us on 01603 894120 or email us at n-able@ncsgrp.co.uk for more information.

Equipment to aid daily living Before beginning to look around for equipment, it is helpful to be clear about exactly which areas of daily living are becoming difficult and then for each area of difficulty try to pinpoint exactly why things are difficult. This may seem obvious; however, not all difficulties are best helped by equipment and certain items of equipment can be more helpful in certain situations than in others.

Taking stock of the situation before you begin to buy any equipment should help you when you talk to a supplier.

Common difficulties with daily living activities If you have been told by Adult Social Care that you are not eligible for help from the department, your needs could be relatively straightforward or you do not fit the eligibility criteria. However you may find that you have become a little less physically agile or stiff because of a mild arthritic condition or other reasons. Certain items may help if you have any of the following difficulties:

on your own, you may need and benefit from professional advice.

The Norfolk Coastal Centre for independent life in Gorleston is a demonstration centre where you can go and find out about equipment that can help you. Please ring first for an appointment, or they may be able to give you telephone advice. The centre is a partnership between the Red Cross, Norfolk County Council and Great Yarmouth and Waveney CCG, and employs an Occupational Therapist so that you can get good advice about how your needs can be met.

Call 0845 054 7181 for an appointment and to get directions. Find out more at the website: www.redcross.org.uk.

For more information please refer to the Norfolk County Council website or contact 0344 800 8020 and ask for the booklet ‘Equipment to Aid Daily Living’.

• getting in and/or out of the bath; • getting up from a low toilet; • getting up and out of an easy chair; • carrying things between rooms; • reaching down to put on socks, stockings or shoes; or • turning the taps on/off sometimes and/or generally managing in the kitchen.

If you have been told that you might be eligible for help from an Occupational Therapist but must wait for your needs to be assessed, and you have bought equipment

Wheelchairs These can make it possible for you to get out and move around safely, and can also help your carer. If you need a wheelchair for longer than six months and have a permanent disability, talk to your GP. They will be able to refer you to the local wheelchair service for an assessment to find out if you fit the criteria for a wheelchair on longterm loan.

If you are not eligible for a wheelchair through the NHS, but would like to borrow or hire one for a short or long period, the following organisations may be able to help: British Red Cross Medical Loan Scheme provide short term wheelchair loan.

Carers and families If you provide unpaid help or support to a person who has a long-term illness, is frail or disabled or who has a learning disability, mental health issues or substance misuse problem, then you are a carer.

The person you care for might be a child with a disability, an adult member of your family, or a friend. You do not need to be living with the person in order to care for them.

The care you provide could include: • help with washing and dressing; • help with eating and preparing meals; • getting about outside; • emotional support and company; and • helping with finances.

As a carer you need to think about things like: • the type of help and support that you need to continue caring; • whether you are willing or able to carry on caring; • planning for your future; and • how to meet your own needs and have a life outside of caring.

In Norfolk, there is help and support available that will give you information, advice and access to a range of services that are available for carers.

This includes: • how to get a carer’s assessment; • how to access services to have a break or provide assistance; and

• equipment to help you in your role.

Support is also available in the community - this may be a carers’ group, general information or someone to listen to you and provide either emotional support or practical advice.

Crossroads Care East Anglia Crossroads Care is a leading charity which supports Carers.

We provide a Tailor Made Service to meet the needs of Carers and the people they care for at home.

Our professional Carer Support Workers can support you and your loved one with: • Regular breaks • Personal care • Companionship • Home help

Our staff know the simple things that matter, they do hard jobs with a smile and take pleasure fitting into your life. www.crossroadseastanglia.org.uk

Call us on 01362 691708

or call your local office listed in this Directory.

Carer’s assessments A carer’s assessment is free and is a supportive measure for you in your role as a carer. It is a chance for you to talk about your needs so you can get the right sort of help to assist you in supporting the person you care for. You may not feel that you need help now but would like to plan for the future.

A carer’s assessment gives you the opportunity to: • speak confidentially to a member of Adult Social Care staff; • describe the help you are giving; • talk about how caring affects your life, for example, your health, your relationships with others, finances, employment, training, education and leisure time; • discuss any difficulties you have; • talk about the needs of the person you care for and the services they have or you feel they should have; for

26

example, equipment and adaptations, home care, day services; and • be given information, advice and other help, for example, what would happen in an emergency, how to get a break and other services, such as Direct Payments.

Norfolk County Council can help in a number of ways. We may arrange a service for you and/or can put you in touch with the Carers Agency Partnership (see below) who can help.

Sometimes we can help carers through a Personal Budget which is a sum of money so carers can pay for some help to support them in their caring role. To find out more, please contact the Carers Agency Partnership Helpline on 0808 808 9876 or Norfolk County Council Customer Service Centre on 0344 800 8021.

Carers Agency Partnership (CAP) There are many organisations in Norfolk providing services designed to make life easier for carers but it can be difficult to know who to contact for what. That is why, since 1st July 2013, a new menu of services is being provided through the Carers Agency Partnership, known as CAP, commissioned by Norfolk County Council and the Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Groups.

What do we mean by ‘carers’?

A carer is anyone who spends a significant proportion of their life providing unpaid support to a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has a mental health issue or substance misuse problem.

Who is providing the services?

The services are provided via eight very experienced and local carers’ organisations who are working together as the Carers Agency Partnership (CAP), led by Crossroads Care East Anglia. The partners are Age UK Norfolk, Norwich and Central Norfolk MIND, Great Yarmouth and Waveney MIND, West Norfolk MIND, Norfolk Carers Support, West Norfolk Befriending and West Norfolk Carers and we work in partnership with the Carers Council for Norfolk.

What services are available?

CAP is the one-stop shop for: • information and advice; • one-to-one support; • short breaks; • groups; • befriending; • grants; • signposting; and • emotional support and access to much more.

How is the service accessed?

Via a one-stop Helpline which is open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 2pm on Saturdays.

You can refer directly to the service or access the service in several ways: • The Helpline number is 0808 808 9876, which is both free and local, or access the service via: norfolkcarershelpline@crossroadseastanglia.org.uk • The website: www.norfolkcarersinfo.org.uk • Via Facebook: Norfolk Carers Information • Via Twitter: @nflkcarersinfo

Young carers and young adult carers Young carers are children and young people up to the age of 18 whose lives are affected by caring.

They might be caring for a parent, sibling or other family member who may have a long term illness or disability, mental health issues, learning disability or misuse alcohol and/or drugs.

Young adult carers are carers aged 16-24. Like young carers, young adult carers’ lives are affected by caring, but are further affected by the transitions which all young people make as they become adults. These include transitions to further or higher education and employment as well as the physical and emotional transitions which occur at this age.

Many young carers and young adult carers are not recognised, or are ‘hidden’. Children and young people will almost always choose and wish to take a role in caring for their loved-ones, but it is important that this should be a real choice and that a child or young person’s caring responsibilities do not become excessive or inappropriate.

Understandably, carrying out caring responsibilities can result in young carers becoming physically or emotionally tired.

This can have a knock-on effect on their school or college work, their relationships with friends or their ability to engage in hobbies and leisure activities. Young carers can

feel isolated from other children and young people and find it difficult to balance their own needs and those of the person they’re caring for.

A range of services and support exists to help families in Norfolk. Parents are encouraged to share information about the caring responsibilities carried out by children and young people.

This will enable workers to look at identifying additional support for the adult which will reduce the need for excessive or inappropriate caring by their children, or to provide additional care to ensure that the needs of the young carers and young adult carers can be met.

You can find details of current services provided to young carers in Norfolk by visiting: www.norfolkcarersinfo.org.uk/en.

If you want to know more, call the Norfolk Carers Helpline on Freephone: 0808 808 9876 Textphone: 01603 413957 between 9am and 5pm from Monday to Friday and on Saturdays from 10am to 2pm.

(Calls may be monitored for training purposes.)

Leaving hospital First steps When leaving hospital, you may need the help of Adult Social Care. With your consent, hospital staff will contact the Hospital Social Work Department.

A member of the Hospital Social Work team will discuss your needs and options with you, involving your family, carer and representative if you wish.

The assessment will consider how best to help you: • return home to live independently, with support services such as home care or specialist equipment if necessary; and • return home after short-term rehabilitation or care at another hospital or appropriate accommodation, which we will try to make as close to your home as possible.

We aim for your stay in hospital to be only as long as is clinically necessary. A plan will be put in place as soon as possible to avoid you staying in once you are well enough to return home or to other accommodation.

It may take some time for your care, equipment or adaptation of your home to be arranged. It will not always be possible to wait in hospital until these services have

been arranged, so you may have to move to alternative accommodation while you wait – usually a nursing or residential home.

If it is the case that you need time to adjust and recover after an illness, a temporary stay in accommodation with 24 hour care can be arranged until you are able to return home or you make a decision on what care you need.

Any charges for care will be explained to you by your care assessor. However, you will not be charged more than you would be paying for the service you are waiting for.

NHS Continuing Healthcare NHS Continuing Healthcare is provided solely by the NHS if you have extensive healthcare needs. This is free of charge, wherever it is delivered and can be provided in any setting. This could mean in your own home or a care

home. For more information and a leaflet please refer to www.nhs.uk/carers/direct/guide/practicalsupport/ pages/nhscontinuingcare.aspx.

Moving to a care or nursing home While we always strive to help people return home, this is not always possible. If long term decisions have to be made about moving to a care home, we will ensure that we talk to you, your family, and your carer or representative.

We will make sure that: • clear advice and guidance is offered to help you make the right decision about the home of your choice; • that if there is no vacancy in your preferred home, we will find a suitable home for you until a place becomes available (an extended stay in hospital is not possible as other patients need urgent medical care); • if you are placed in an interim home, your care needs will be reviewed and you will be given more time to consider your future; and

• a social worker will help you in moving to your first choice home as soon as possible.

For more information on care homes, please see page 32.

Moving from an acute hospital to a community hospital When leaving an acute hospital – such as Queen Elizabeth, James Paget or Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals – you may need a period of rehabilitation in a community hospital or NHS funded nursing home bed.

In this case, you will be given the first available bed in

an appropriate unit, although this will not necessarily be closest to your home.

When you are fit to leave, we will help you return home with support to live safely and independently.

Other help, advice and services Hospital ward staff and social workers are here to help you, so you can ask them about any extra support, advice or services that you think you may need. Patients over 65 can speak to Age UK Norfolk, which provides free, confidential information, advice and advocacy on a number of issues. This includes health and social care, and moving into a care home.

You can contact the organisation on 0300 500 1217 (Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm). If you need to explore the options open to you, a member of the advocacy team will be able to visit you in hospital.

Age UK Norfolk and Age UK Norwich are currently offering advice in the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital on

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. They are visiting wards from 2pm until 4pm then in the restaurant from 4pm until 5pm.

You can also contact our Customer Service Centre: • for social care information and advice; • to find out about the support we can offer; • to access services; • for leaflets in different formats or languages; and • for urgent help.

Housing with care Local schemes Housing with care is for people who are no longer able to live at home. You should have a care and a housing need to be eligible for the scheme. Housing with care schemes are run as a partnership between district councils, housing associations and Adult Social Care, and a tenancy is offered to people through an allocation process which all agencies are involved in.

Each scheme is different, but all schemes offer selfcontained flats, with some flats which have been designed for couples, there are also some flats within certain schemes that are suitable for people with dementia.

There are lots of communal areas and fully accessible gardens. There are restaurants on site which can provide three meals a day if required but the emphasis is on choice and people can decide whether they want to use this facility.

There is always a responsible member of staff on duty 24 hours a day to provide care and support. Every tenant has a care plan, which is written along with their involvement and if they wish, their families. The care plan explains what they need help and support with.

Tenants are encouraged to get involved in activities and all aspects of life within their housing with care scheme, as are their families. But people can choose how much time they want to spend in their flat and which activities they want to join in with.

Schemes can be found at Aylsham, Costessey, Cromer, Diss, Downham Market, Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, Holt, King’s Lynn, Lakenham, Loddon, Sprowston, Swaffham, Thetford and Wymondham.

For further information and help, call this Directory’s independent helpline on 0800 389 2077.

Sheltered housing Sheltered housing is adapted accommodation for older people which is generally linked into an alarm system.

Low level help and support is provided. Units are generally unfurnished and there are over 6000 sheltered housing units to rent throughout Norfolk.

For more information contact your local district council or look on the Norfolk County Council website: www.norfolk.gov.uk or call this Directory’s independent helpline on 0800 389 2077.

Housing and support for younger adults There is a range of options available to provide support for people to live at home. Some of these include: • Continuing to live with your family – If your home is specially adapted and you receive the practical and emotional support needed, you may prefer to stay at home. It’s also convenient if your college or job is nearby.

• Moving into supported living – This can either be in shared or single accommodation with support provided according to your needs. If you have had an assessment from Adult Social Care and are found to be eligible for services, you have a choice about how your service/ support is arranged .

• Renting a place – You could apply for social housing through your local district council. They provide social housing which is prioritised according to need, each district council has its own application system with its own eligibility criteria. Contact your local district council for more information. If you want to rent privately, look in your local newspaper for ‘To Let’ advertisements or contact a letting agency who should be able to help you find rented accommodation that suits your needs and budget. You might be eligible for Housing Benefit, if you’re entitled to it, this could reduce the rent you have to pay, contact the district council for more details on how to claim.

• Buy your own home – Can you afford it? Are you able to live on your own? You could think about ‘part buying’ and ‘part renting’ a place from a housing association.

When living independently you may require adaptations around the house, which means that you are able to live as independently as possible.

New homes that have been built since 1999 should be fully accessible to disabled people. However, if you choose an older home, there are a number of adaptations that could make it easier for you to use. These include wider doorways; a downstairs toilet; bathroom equipment including handrails, a walk-in bath; electronic bath seat; kitchen adaptations including lower working surfaces; lower level light switches; easy-to-use controls for heating; a stairlift; security intercom at the front door and ramp access to the garden.

You should also think about the general access to your home. You can choose housing that’s specially adapted already to meet people’s needs. There are organisations that specialise in providing this sort of accommodation including Livability (formerly John Grooms) and the Accessible Property Register.

Services may include advice, assistance with grants and help with the process of adapting, repairing and improving your home. There are six services covering Norfolk and their contact details are given in the local contacts section on page 44.

Care homes Residential care There are two types of residential home: • Care homes (personal care only) If you are finding it increasingly difficult to manage at home or in the community and would like greater security and care, a care home offering only personal care may be the best option. Personal care includes bathing, feeding, dressing and help with moving but if your capital and savings are more than £23,250 you will need to pay the home directly.

• Care homes with nursing If you think you have particular health needs which can only be met by a nurse, then you may need nursing care in a home. You will need to be visited by a Care Assessor or a registered nurse to determine 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 your care needs.

important that you get your nursing determination done before you go into the care home.

Although the NHS may fund the nursing element, you will still need to make a contribution towards the other care costs. If your savings and capital are more than £23,250, you will need to pay the home directly for the full cost of the care less the part funded by the NHS. For information on how to contact the nurse case management teams for your area, please contact your local Patient Advice and Liaison Service, details of which are on page 44. Alternatively, for further information and help, call this Directory’s independent helpline: 0800 389 2077.

For more information on paying for care, please see page 36.

If a care home providing nursing care is the best solution for you, your Care Assessor will give you information to help you find a home which meets your care requirements. If appropriate, a specially trained nurse will assess your nursing needs to determine what level of nursing care the NHS will fund. The cost of the nursing care part of your fees is paid by the NHS to the home. It is

Out of county care options Did you know 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 council-funded, your home county local authority is still responsible for your care fees subject to your financial assessment, even if you choose a care home in another region.

The home you choose must be suitable for your assessed needs and comply with the terms and conditions set by the authority. The fees that your local authority will pay may vary. They may offer you the fees you would receive if you remained within the county, or they may offer you the fees that the local authority would pay in your chosen region. You must seek further advice before making your decision.

Specialist care Learning disability The Norfolk Learning Disability Service is a partnership between Norfolk County Council Community Services and NHS Norfolk Community Health and Care. We provide support and advice for people with a learning disability in Norfolk. Our philosophy is based around the belief that people with a learning disability should have the same opportunities as anyone else to lead full and normal lives.

We assess the social care needs of individuals aged over 18 years in line with Fair Access to Care Services criteria.

We also provide information about the support, facilities and opportunities people can use in the community in line with the Valuing People Now Policy. Access to health aspects of the service should be the same as other NHS services.

The service works to implement the Joint Commissioning Strategy for Adults with a Learning Disability 2010-2015 which follows the Valuing People Now Policy, which aims to give individuals ‘more choice,

more control and more independent living’. The strategy aims to: • ensure people with learning disabilities receive the healthcare they need and the support they want to live healthy lives; • support more people, including those with more complex needs, into paid work; • ensure people have the choice to form relationships, become parents and continue to be parents; and • give people opportunities to study and enjoy leisure and social activities.

A significant change affecting people with learning disabilities is the growth of Self-Directed Support and the use of Personal Budgets. This puts them and their carers at the centre of how they choose their support. Personal Budgets are explained further on page 36.

Dementia care The initial point of contact to access services is your GP or for support to live at home or finding out more about moving to a care home you can contact social care services at Norfolk County Council on 0344 800 8020. There are also many voluntary sector organisations providing information and support for people concerned about dementia, and those diagnosed with dementia and their carers. More information is available from the website: www.alzheimers.org.uk.

Your GP, as well as discussing your concerns, will be able to carry out a series of tests which will establish the

nature of your condition and advise whether treatment is possible.

Some dementia-like symptoms (cognitive impairment) can be caused by a range of emotional, physiological and physical ailments. It is important that reversible dementialike symptoms are investigated before seeking a diagnosis of dementia. To obtain a diagnosis of dementia, your GP may refer you to a specialist, such as a Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry, a Community Psychiatric Nurse or an Occupational Therapist with a special interest in dementia care.

Dementia care: support in the community A range of community care services are available to support people at home. Adult Social Care for example, can provide access to a range of services to support people at home and to access their local community. You can ask Norfolk County Council Adult Social Care for an assessment of your needs to help find out what support

may be available to you and whether or not you will need to contribute to the cost of your support. (See page 36 for information about paying for your care.) If you are paying for your own care then Adult Social Care can still assist you with an assessment of your needs and can advise or assist you in organising services.

Dementia care: care homes If the time comes when remaining at home is no longer viable, the benefits of residential or nursing care may be considered. There are many homes which specialise in providing care for people living with dementia.

When you visit a home ask if they are registered to care for people living with dementia. Ask to have a look around and use the checklist below to help you ask questions about the type of care provided. A good care home will be comfortable,

Residential dementia care checklist Things to look for in care homes specialising in dementia.

Please use in conjunction with the care homes checklist on page 33.

Residents The best indication of a good home is that the residents appear happy and responsive.

• Are there rummage boxes around the home to stimulate residents?

• Is there good interaction between residents and staff?

Access If the person with dementia needs or is likely to need equipment or adaptations you may want to check: • There is adequate signage and cues for different parts of the home such as dining room and bathroom.

• The home’s policy about locking external doors.

• Is there a safe garden area available?

Bedrooms You may want to find out whether the person with dementia can have a single room and whether: • Residents are encouraged to bring in some of their own furniture and possessions to increase familiarity.

Activities Residents should be stimulated without feeling stressed.

• Are reminiscence activities available?

• Are residents able to compile memory boxes?

• Do staff compile life story books including photographs and mementoes?

clean and well lit. There will be easy to understand signs to help people to find different rooms and space for walking around and things to do. Staff will treat people as individuals and help them with choices, so look at how staff interact with people. Ask about meal choices and whether activities are organised to suit what people like to do. Many organisations such as the Alzheimer’s Society and Age UK have information and factsheets with advice for people choosing a care home. © 2014 Care Choices Ltd

Meals Meal times can play an important part of the day.

• Do meal times appear to be a relaxed and enjoyable experience?

• Do staff approach support at meal times in a flexible manner?

• Is there a variety of food available throughout the day (eg finger food)?

Staff It is important to note whether staff seem friendly and caring towards residents and whether they treat residents with respect.

• Do they have any training and experience in dementia care?

• Will the person with dementia have a member of staff particularly responsible for their care?

• Is there a member of staff you can talk to about your own worries about the person with dementia?

• Do staff follow an individual and person centred approach to providing care?

Manager/head of home A manager who is caring as well as efficient can make all the difference to a home.

• Does the manager have a knowledge of dementia and can they deal with difficulties that may arise in an understanding way?

• Is there a full assessment at home before a resident is admitted?

Mental health Primary care: mental health Mental health issues affect one in four of the UK population at some point in their lives. There are many activities and interventions that can help with these issues which can be provided in a community setting in addition to pharmaceutical interventions.

Services such as the Norfolk Wellbeing Service sometimes known as Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) - is a community-based Primary Care Mental Health Service that is designed to improve the mental wellbeing of the population of Norfolk. To access this service you can self-refer over the phone or through the website below. In addition, you can speak to your GP who will then refer you into the service.

care setting, or whether you should be referred to the secondary mental health services.

The local NHS mental health service provider is the Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust. They provide an integrated health and social care service. Your needs will be assessed under the Care Programme Approach and a care plan will be devised to meet your needs. This will include the support you need to live your life in the community such as, personal care and one to one support, access to work and community services.

Information on mental health and local services can be found on the websites: www.nmhft.nhs.uk or www.heron.nhs.uk.

Your GP should be your first point of contact if you have mental health issues. He or she will consider whether they can provide the help and treatment you need from staff who work in the primary

Paying for care Personalisation The Government has given an unequivocal commitment to making personalisation the cornerstone of modernised public services. This means that people will have much

greater choice and control about how their social care needs are met and delivered.

Self-Directed Support Self-Directed Support is a process by which you are offered choice and control in order to meet your social care needs such as help with your personal care and your day to day living.

Everyone who is eligible for social care will have a Personal Budget.

There is no obligation for people to manage their Personal Budget themselves, and a range of options are available to help plan and arrange suitable care for each individual. In some cases individuals may ask the council to arrange care/services on their behalf.

Your care assessor will be able to tell you what this will mean for you personally.

36

How does it work?

First, your needs are assessed. If you are assessed as being eligible to receive help you will be provided with a Personal Budget. You then draw up a support plan which outlines the care that you need in order to meet your assessed and eligible social care needs. You can ask someone (i.e. a relative or care assessor) to help you with this.

The support plan will say who will provide the support you need, how much it will cost, and how it will be arranged and managed.

What’s different?

The important difference is that the Personal Budget offers flexibility.

This Directory’s helpline 0800 389 2077 – information on choosing and paying for care

Direct Payments A person can choose to take some, or all, of their Personal Budget as a Direct Payment. A Direct Payment is a cash payment paid into a person’s bank account that can be used to pay for care.

Direct Payments can be made to: • people aged 16 or over who are in need of social care services; and • people with parental responsibility for disabled children.

Carers aged 16 or over may have a Direct Payment for a specific carer’s service following a carer’s assessment even if the person for whom they care declines an assessment or service.

What is the point of Direct Payments?

The aim of a Direct Payment is to give more flexibility in how services are provided. People have greater choice and control over their lives and are able to make their own decisions about how their care is delivered. Following an assessment, or reassessment, you can now choose whether to have services arranged by the council or to have a Direct Payment.

What am I allowed to spend the money on?

You can use the money to employ a personal assistant or you can use an agency to provide staff for you. Or you can ‘mix and match’ and have some of your support arranged

by the council and take some as a Direct Payment. You must use the money as agreed in your support plan to meet your social care assessed needs.

You cannot use this money for anything that is illegal, anything that could bring the council into disrepute, anything that could be provided by a health professional or to pay for your day to day living expenses (e.g. food or rent).

What else do I need to know?

You will need to open a separate bank account to have the money paid into and send Norfolk County Council a monthly bank statement from this account.

There are some organisations that can help you manage your Direct Payments.

Direct Payments are not a social security benefit. They do not affect any means tested benefits you are entitled to and are not taxable.

What happens if my circumstances change?

Your care assessor should review your assessment at least annually. This will provide you with a regular check on how well your arrangements are meeting your needs. If at any time, you feel your circumstances have changed or that costs have increased, you should contact your care assessor to request another assessment. If you wish to apply for this service or ask for more information, contact Adult Social Care.

Self-funding advice Paying the full cost of care yourself - being a ‘self-funder’ Even if you know you will have to pay for it yourself, if you need care in your own home or are considering moving into residential care, you still qualify for an assessment by Adult Social Care. The assessment will identify your needs including those that may be eligible for support from the local authority. Also, if you expect your capital to fall below £23,250 as a result of paying for care, Norfolk County Council may then help you with the cost. (See page 38.)

If you are moving into residential care, you may be entitled to some of the following financial assistance and support: Twelve-week property disregard This applies if: • your former home is included in your financial assessment; • your other capital is less than £23,250; and • your income is not enough to meet your care home fees.

Adult Social Care will help with the cost during the first twelve weeks of permanent residential care, provided their assessment has shown that this is the kind of care you need.

This is called the ‘property disregard’ period.

Deferred payment agreements After the twelve-week property disregard period, Norfolk County Council may be able to help you whilst your property is being sold. We will charge any financial help we give against the value of your home. This means we will take back the amount we have paid once your property has been sold. Until your property is sold, you will be expected to make a part-payment every four weeks based on your weekly income. Once the property is sold a review will take place to determine whether or not it is appropriate for you to make private arrangements to pay the home direct. If this is the case, you will be advised of the date you should start to pay the home from.

It may affect your entitlement to Pension Credit if your >>

Self-funding advice continued >> property is not seen to be on the market and becomes treated as capital by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

Attendance Allowance This is a non-means-tested, non-taxable benefit from the DWP. It’s paid at the lower rate of £53.00 a week if you need care by day or night, and at the higher rate of £79.15 a week if you need care during the day and night. Everyone who needs care over the age of 65 can, and should, claim Attendance Allowance. If you are paying the full cost of residential care, with or without nursing care, you will be entitled to the higher rate.

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, following an assessment, to NHS Nursing Care Contribution towards the cost. It is not means-tested and is currently £109.79 a week for the standard rate and is paid directly to the home.

Third party payments for care home fees Some care homes and care homes with nursing charge fees that are higher than the maximum amount Adult Social Care can contribute. If Norfolk County Council is contributing towards your care home fees and you choose to move into a home which charges a higher fee, the difference between the two amounts must be paid for by a third party, usually a relative or a charity. Third party payments are sometimes referred to as ‘top-up’ payments.

Please note, this amount will be charged in addition to your assessed contribution.

As the name suggests, this payment must be made by someone other than yourself or Adult Social Care.

The general rule is that you cannot use your own money to fund a third party payment. However in certain specific circumstances you may make a third party payment from your own funds. These are: • when you are eligible for the twelve week property disregard (see page 37); or • where Adult Social Care has agreed to a deferred payment until your home is sold.

If you top up your care home fees after the first twelve

weeks of permanent care you can also defer payment of the top-up fees until your home is sold.

We recommend that you seek independent financial and legal advice if you are considering these options. If you need further advice about how a top-up to your care home fees might be arranged please discuss this with your care manager.

If you move to a care home where a third party payment is required, the person who will make the payment on your behalf must sign a contract with Adult Social Care, before the contract with the home is signed. They must not pay the home directly. In signing the contract with Adult Social Care, they must also confirm that they have the financial means to make the third party payments (including any future increases) for the whole time you will live at the care home.

If they are unable to maintain the payments and there is nobody else able to meet this cost, you may have to move to a cheaper home within the local authority’s funding levels.

If a change to your arrangements is made at your request or with your agreement, for example you move to a superior room, then a third party payment can become due. Equally you may move to a smaller room which no longer requires a top-up or a lesser amount to be paid, this would result in the top-up being cancelled or reviewed.

Running out of money whilst in care If your capital is likely to reduce to £23,250 as a result of paying for care, you must tell Adult Social Care well in advance that this is going to happen. We will then be able to help with your care fees (provided your care needs assessment has shown that you need residential care). We will carry out a financial assessment to confirm the date from which your funds fell below £23,250, and the amount we, and you, will pay towards your care.

If you cannot find someone to help you meet the extra cost, you may have to move to a home within Adult Social Care’s funding levels.

Understanding your rights before moving into care is essential. There are a number of financial products and specialist companies who may be able to help. It is important to seek advice about the various options you may have before committing yourself.

For further information and help, call this Directory’s independent helpline on 0800 389 2077.

NB The figures quoted here are likely to change during the life of this Directory. After April 2014, please check with Adult Social Care for up to date data.

Before you sign any contract the home should give you written details of all the charges it intends to make in its ‘Statement of Purpose’ document. If there is anything that is not clear or which you do not understand, you should ask for advice.

What will you have to pay for your care?

Do you have more than £23,250 in capital and savings?

What is ‘capital’?

The value of your home is included in the assessment of your capital unless one of the following still lives there: • Your partner (that is, your husband, wife or civil partner, or someone you live with as if they were your husband, wife or civil partner); or • A relative who is over 60 or disabled; or • A child under 16 who you, or a former partner, are responsible for.

The value of any land or property that you own but do not live in may also be included as capital in your financial assessment.

If the answer is no: Adult Social Care will contribute financially towards your care costs after we have carried out an assessment of your care needs.

How much?

You will need to ask Adult Social Care for an assessment.

This will define your care needs and how they will be best met. Any care homes you consider must be able to meet these needs. Adult Social Care will also make an assessment of your financial situation. This determines how much we will pay and how much you will have to pay.

Your choice of care home will be limited to those that accept Adult Social Care’s funding level. If you want to choose a more expensive home you would have to arrange for a third party - such as a family member or charity - to ‘top-up’ the difference. Please refer to the section ‘Running out of money whilst in care’ and the section ‘Third party payments for care home fees’ on page 38.

If you have capital between £14,250 and £23,250 you will pay £1 a week for every £250 you have above £14,250. This will be included in your financial assessment and will be in addition to any income you are receiving e.g. State Benefits, Occupational Pensions, etc.

If the answer is yes: Ask Adult Social Care for an assessment – telephone 0344 800 8014. Any care homes you consider must be able to meet your assessed care needs.

If, apart from the property you were living in, your savings are less than £23,250, Adult Social Care can help with your care costs for the first twelve weeks. After this time you may be eligible to enter into a Deferred Payments Agreement until your property is sold, explained on page 37.

Please refer to the information above about Deferred

Payment Agreements or for further information please refer to the booklet ’Thinking about Residential and Nursing Home Care Money Matters’.

WHATEVER YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES: Remember: • It is just your own financial circumstances that are assessed, not your partner’s.

• Your assessment will be made up of two elements; a care needs assessment and a financial one.

• A nursing home will generally be more expensive than a residential home.

Consider claiming: • Income support (if you are currently receiving Severe Disablement Allowance (SDA) and/or Incapacity Benefit).

• Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).

• Pension Credit.

• Savings Credit (if you are over 65).

Definitely claim: • Attendance Allowance, worth either £53.00 or £79.15 a week depending on your care needs (as long as your capital is more than £23,250 and you are paying the full cost of your care).

• Personal Independence Payment (Care)*, worth either £53.00 a week or £79.15. This is paid if you are aged under 65 and your capital is more than £23,250 and you are paying the full cost of your care.

• Personal Independence Payment (Mobility)*, worth either £21.00 or £55.25 - if you are aged under 65 and regardless of your level of capital. Please note this allowance is totally disregarded in your financial assessment. * Personal Independence Payments (Care and Mobility) replaced Disability Living Allowance (Care and Mobility) and will be paid to new claimants only.

From 28th October 2013, people getting Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and aged 16 to 64, will be invited to claim Personal Independence Payment (PIP) instead of DLA if: • they report a change in their care or mobility needs; or • a child on DLA is turning 16 (unless they are classed as terminally ill); or • an existing DLA award is due to end on or after 17 March 2014.

If however, the award is due to end before 17th March, people can reclaim their DLA. The letter from the >>

It is important to remember that there is no automatic transfer to PIP, it must be claimed.

DLA claimants can choose to claim PIP from 28 October 2013 in some cases.

The Government’s plan is that from October 2015 to 2017, the remaining people on DLA aged 16 to 64 will be told their DLA is coming to an end and will have to claim PIP instead.

When you are selected for transfer you will be contacted and told that you must make a claim for PIP or your benefit will stop. You will have 28 days from the date on the notification letter in which to make your initial claim by telephone, or complete your paper claim form and return it to the DWP.

Contribution of £109.79 a week depending on your assessed care needs.

• If eligible for Continuing Healthcare and your primary health needs require nursing care then you will be offered a nursing home place and the fees will be met in full by Continuing Healthcare.

Always seek advice: • If you are paying the full cost of your care and have savings, then you should seek independent financial advice to maximise any investment returns.

• Norfolk County Council also has a team of Financial Visiting Officers and a Welfare Rights Unit who are happy to assist with advice on benefits and the charging policy.

Essential information Inspection and registration of care services The Care Quality Commission (CQC) registers, inspects and reviews all adult social care and healthcare services in England in the public, private and voluntary sectors. This includes care homes, care homes with nursing, home care agencies and NHS services, amongst others.

CQC will hold and publish up to date information about the compliance of adult social care providers with essential standards of safety and quality.

Following an inspection, each care home and home care agency is given a report of how it rates against national essential standards of quality and safety. Each service’s

You can also make comments and suggestions about possible improvements to your surroundings and the services provided.

Making a complaint should not be difficult for you.

Providers are required under the essential standards of quality and safety to have a simple and easy to use complaints procedure that they will be happy to give you.

If you are concerned about the care that you, a friend or a relative is receiving, it makes sense to speak to the manager before you take any further action. The problem may be resolved quite easily once they are made aware of it.

Palliative and end of life care What is palliative care?

Palliative care refers to the services provided for people affected by a life-limiting illness when there is no cure for an illness, to try to make the end of a person’s life as comfortable as possible. This will include relieving pain and other symptoms whilst providing psychological, social and sometimes spiritual support to the person who is ill and to their carers and family. Patients can receive palliative care in their own home or a preferred place of care (such as a hospice, nursing home or hospital).

Patients and their carers should talk to their GP, District Nurse or hospital doctor about their needs.

What is end of life care?

End of life care is an important part of palliative care and usually refers to the care of a person during the last year of their life. Some people who are nearing the end of their life will be eligible for funded healthcare called ‘continuing healthcare’ and there is a fast-track assessment process to provide a quick response to assessing these care needs. See page 29 for further details.

Our plan to help people with palliative and end of life care needs Norfolk has a plan for how to care for people affected by life-limiting illnesses which is called the ‘Norfolk Joint End of Life Care Strategy’, which is based on the National End of Life Care Strategy (DH 2008), it is a five year plan that aims to improve care for someone nearing the end of their life.

The overall vision is for people to be able to have: ‘The care they want, where they want and when they want, during their life and after death for themselves and their family/ carer(s), delivered by competent, confident professionals’.

Services will be changed and developed to ensure that: • palliative and end of life care needs are identified and assessed; • care and support services for people are co-ordinated well; • everyone has the opportunity to complete an advance care plan. This plan is designed to help people prepare for the future and gives them an opportunity >> to think about, talk about and write down their

Palliative and end of life care continued >> preferences and priorities for care at the end of life; • those near the end of their life are able to choose where they would like to be cared for; and • carers are supported.

Talking about death and dying There is a website designed to raise awareness of end of life issues and break down taboos about death while encouraging people to plan for their future. The ‘be ready for it’ website, (www.bereadyforit.org.uk), has been created by the Norfolk and Suffolk Palliative Care Academy. It encourages people to plan for their future (whatever their age) by talking to their friends, family or carers about their wishes at the end of their lives.

By discussing the options at an early stage, the aim is to help people make the right choices about their care, place of death and funeral. As well as helpful checklists

which make it easier for people to plan for their own or someone else’s death, the site also brings together a host of information to help when somebody has died, such as guidance about legal requirements and how to register a death. People can also share their stories, create a bucket list of things they wish to do before they die and access support from a range of charities.

The Norfolk and Suffolk Palliative Care Academy is a group of individuals and organisations which are working together to improve palliative care education and training and, ultimately, patient care. Its aim is to give patients more choice at the end of their lives, provide more support for carers and increase transferable skills so that staff can deliver care in all areas more effectively.

Safeguarding adults Most adults in Norfolk including older people, those with physical or mental illness, learning disability or other special needs, live their lives comfortably and safely. They do this either independently or with assistance from professional carers, relatives, family and friends or volunteers.

Some people may find it more difficult to protect themselves from harm (abuse). The abuser is often someone they know and it can happen anywhere. There are many types of abuse, including physical, sexual or emotional abuse; financial or domestic abuse or neglect or acts of omission. You can find out more in the Safeguarding Adults leaflet available from Adult Social Care.

42

Adult Social Care in Norfolk has a lead role in protecting vulnerable adults from abuse and work closely with the Police and other partners to identify and investigate all allegations of abuse.

If you feel you are being abused, or know a person you believe is at risk then it is important to tell someone.

Norfolk Independent Care (NIC) The voice of independent care providers, NIC represents and advocates for independent and voluntary providers who deliver services across social care. All care providers in Norfolk are members and receive the benefits of membership. NIC’s board consists of sector experts providing strategic direction to develop a vibrant and sustainable social care market.

Experts represent home care agencies, care homes with/ without nursing, providers of care to those with mental health needs, learning difficulties and day care.

NIC works closely with Norfolk County Council, Clinical Commissioning Groups and Health Trusts to represent care providers’ views and promote the interests of members and influence the decision-making that shapes the future of the

county’s care services. By working with key partners to deliver the practical support care providers need to remain sustainable, NIC aims to deliver the care services required by the people of Norfolk.

NIC organise and bring together providers, commissioners and key stakeholders at the Norfolk Care Conference, the best attended county care event in England and celebrate the sector’s excellence and innovation through the Norfolk Care Awards.

Useful contacts Norfolk County Council is not the only provider of social care services. In fact, more and more of the services we provide to people are arranged or commissioned via organisations in the private or voluntary sector.

Our Community Services Directory is a good source of information about the different types of services and support available to people in Norfolk.

Many different organisations can also give you advice and information about social care and other related issues.

Some of these also provide advocacy. Advocacy is helping you to say what you want to, supporting your rights or acting on your behalf. We are improving our Norfolk Directory on the internet, so please do consult this, too: www.norfolk.gov.uk.
