CATERING
Tailored to individual dietary needs, our delicious dishes are prepared by our on-site chefs. Food is locally sourced and freshly prepared each day. Our chefs provide a varied and balanced menu and happily cater for special diets and preferences. Fresh fruit and vegetables from our local suppliers are offered daily. All dishes are cooked on the premises in our well-equipped and clean kitchen. A wide variety of drinks and snacks are also served throughout the day. We encourage mealtimes where residents can eat together and socialise in a relaxing environment, but understand that residents may wish to enjoy food when they and where they choose to have it.
Our trained staff understand the importance of eating well and staying hydrated and supporting residents living with dementia to enjoy food – making food more visible through coloured crockery and more appealing whether it’s in normal or adapted consistency or finger foods. Families are welcome to dine with their relative by appointment.
FEES
There are several different ways in which our service can be funded. These include:
Local Authority funding
This is where the Local Authority (typically the local Council) agrees an amount to fully fund a person’s support in a residential placement.
The funding package is agreed following an assessment of the person’s needs and covers both accommodation and support.
Joint funding between the Local Authority and NHS
This is where an individual has a Continuing Healthcare (CHC) assessment. In this instance, funding will be split between the Local Authority and the NHS.
The funding package is agreed following joint assessments of the person’s needs and healthcare needs. The Local Authority element of the funding will cover both accommodation and support, the NHS assessment will cover the continuing healthcare needs.
NHS Funding
It is possible that an individual’s health needs are such that the NHS will fully fund a person’s support package.
The funding package is agreed following an assessment of the person’s needs and covers both accommodation and support.
Individual/Personal Budget
This is where the Local Authority allocates a specific amount of money for a person’s support needs. The amount is determined by an assessment of the person’s needs and means. You will also need to agree a support plan to show how and where the money will be spent, whether you decide for the Local Authority to choose services for you or if you prefer to have direct control of the budget yourself – e.g. a direct payment.
Direct Payments
This is where you receive an amount directly from the Local Authority and can choose how to spend the money on your support. Choosing a direct payment gives you maximum flexibility with your support package but does mean you have to manage the money yourself.
Fees are calculated based on the assessed needs of an individual. Each fee will include a staffing element, based on the hours of support assessed and required. In some instances, the staff support may be shared with other individuals, and in this situation the individual would only pay for the share of staff time.
