About quality of care
But there are many other organisations providing valuable services, both locally and nationally. Housing-with-care is a recent but natural evolution of retirement housing to provide an environment capable of enabling older people to maintain their independence even if they become physically or mentally frail. There’s guidance on types of care in the home, different sorts of care homes, and council payments towards the cost of care. Blyth Country House is a 26 bed care home, specialising in care of older people, located in Blyth. The home is situated in a central location, close to all local amenities.
The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. It monitors and inspects services, to make sure they are safe, effective and provide high-quality care. A popular feature on our site is the Entertainers’ Directory, which offers an advertising opportunity to entertainers who enjoy performing to older people in retirement housing, day centre and care home settings. Blyth Country House residents enjoy the distinction of living in a beautiful, sympathetically modernised Grade 2 Georgian Heritage Building, set in two acres of grounds, with extensive gardens. We cater for all needs up to a maximum of only 30 elderly nursing and residential service users.

Accommodation, meals, and assistance with personal care and medication. TrustedCare offers free help & advice for people looking for care for themselves or a loved one.

If HOOP doesn't provide all the information you need, submit your HOOP session to us to arrange a conversation with an EAC Advisor.
Also known as Care & Repair agencies, are local non-profit organisations set up to help older people think about, plan, finance and organise work on their homes. These services tackle smaller repair jobs, including installing safety & security devices. They are provided by many local Age UKs as well as other organisations. The provider had systems in place to assess the quality of care provided and make improvements when needed.

Every registered care provider in the UK can claim a free listing on Autumna. However, a paid subscription allows more information to be added and as a result a higher profile score. We think it’s important you have detailed, comprehensive information so that you can decide which care providers to shortlist. It includes all 11,500 registered care homes in the UK that cater exclusively or primarily for older people.
Autumna is the UK's largest and most comprehensive later-life living & elderly care directory. Our detailed search facility and team of expert advisors can help you find the best care homes, nursing homes, retirement homes, retirement villages, home care, and live-in care services for you or your loved one's needs. Our website is free to use, we are proudly independent, and we never take referral fees. The service is registered to provide accommodation and nursing care for up to 30 older people, with a range of medical and age related conditions, including arthritis, frailty, mobility issues, diabetes and dementia. On the day of our inspection there were 26 people living at the service.At our last inspection on 10 March 2015 the service was found to be fully compliant and was rated good in all areas. People received care and support from staff who were appropriately trained and confident to meet their individual needs.
Care provided
Getting older can make it more difficult to get around and do the things you used to do, or would like to do. If affording work to your home is an issue, Age UK’s factsheet Home improvements and repairs is a good read, as is OneFamily’s webpage How to fund home improvements. We are committed to keeping our staff up to date with changing procedure and legislation using a continuous staff training programme. All our staff are employed under a rigorous process which enables us to find the best candidates for the job. All our care staff have, or at least are working towards an NVQ Level 2 qualification in Health and Social Care. Likewise our catering staff all have NVQ Level 2 in catering and hospitality.
A majority of homes aim to cater for both, but some target only one or the other. A care home is a residential setting where a number of older people live, usually in single rooms or hotel-style suites, because they need regular or continuous access to care. Buying a ‘home for life plan’, or ‘lifetime lease’, gives you the right to live in a property until you die or move to a care home. This might enable you to live somewhere you couldn’t otherwise afford. A move may provide a whole new lease of life, but a wrong choice can be difficult to undo. Our site provides information about every retirement scheme, development or village in the UK, to help you make the right choice.
Experiences are organised through routine weekly hairdressing, chiropody, and ad-hoc pamper sessions with manicures, hand massages and aroma therapies by professionally trained staff. Our beautiful views are set amongst mature trees and grounds in the picturesque village of Blyth in Nottinghamshire. – the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
The registered manager and staff had received training in the Mental Capacity Act and the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards . Care homes are regulated by independent Inspectorates in each country of the UK, subject to periodic inspections and awarded quality grades. Inspectorate reports and grades are accessible from the care home pages on this website. See CQC's page explaining ratings for more details about ratings and inspection practices of care homes in England. EAC sees itself, and this website, as one source of ‘housing options’ information and advice for older people and their families.
They were able to access health, social and medical care, as required. There were opportunities for additional training specific to the needs of the service, such as diabetes management and the care of people with dementia. Staff received one-to-one supervision meetings with their line manager. Formal personal development plans, such as annual appraisals, were in place.
There is no charge whatsoever to appear in it, and we welcome a photo and descriptive text to enhance the presentation of your home. Just be aware that we do not provide housing or care services ourselves, so we cannot accept applications for housing and do not have any control over the services listed on our site. We have recently been able to open EAC Advice, a new 'housing options' advice service for older people. Housing-with-care developments run by housing associations and local authorities tend to be called ‘extra care’ or ‘independent living’ schemes, and explicitly seek to accommodate people who need daily help. – there are some services which we can’t rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Some care homes are registered to provide personal care only, for example help with washing, dressing and giving medication. Others also provide nursing, and will have a nurse on duty twenty-four hours a day. The Care Quality Commission is the official regulator for the care sector. They inspect care homes and care services to make sure they are safe, caring, effective, responsive and well-led. Hanumaan Limited is registered to provide the following regulatory activities at Blyth Country House Care Home for up to 30 people. Accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care, treatment of disease disorder or injury, and diagnostic and screening services.
