How to pay for your care.

The argument rages on between the political parties about how social care will be paid for in the future.  But this does not alter the fact that today somebody is looking for a care home and that they need to pay for it.  I have put together a simple ten step guide to make sure that you don't forget any of the important points.   You can also request a free detailed guide from this page, that will give you more specific information.

The best care homes in England.

Finding the best care homes in England is a difficult and daunting task.  However, as a result of a competition that http://www.best-care-home.co.uk/ began in July 2009, that encouraged residents, relatives, visitors and professionals who visit homes, to vote and leave personal recommendations about the homes that they believe are doing a wonderful job - I have this week presented awards to four care homes. 

These homes won their awards because members of the public think they are the best care homes in England.  Having visited them, I think they may be right - but judge for yourself.

The overall winner of the award and the winner of the Midlands region was Morton Grange in Alfreton Derbyshire http://www.best-care-home.co.uk/care-home-5313-morton-grange.php

The winner of the North was Red Rocks Nursing Home in the Wirral,  http://www.best-care-home.co.uk/care-home-6465-red-rocks-nursing-home.php

The winner of the South West was Chatsworth in Plymouth http://www.best-care-home.co.uk/care-home-5401-chatsworth.php

and the winner of the South East was St Vincent on the Isle of Wight. http://www.best-care-home.co.uk/care-home-5950-st-vincent.php

With each of these homes you can see a video that really shows you how the Manager and staff feel about their residents - take a look, it's worth it.
