At Strathallan House we welcome clients from all walks of
life and do not discriminate on an individuals background or financial
situation.
For this reason we are happy to accept clients that are state
funded and self funding alike.
The most important element for you, as a prospective client
would be ensuring that you are comfortable and in a caring environment, with
your family and visitors within easy access.
Quality of care is of equal importance, and this can often be
expensive, but it is important to ensure that you receive the best possible care
designed round you individual needs - you don't have to settle for anything
less.
The following information is aimed at helping understand what
help is available to you.
1.
How can I go about getting Care
The referral and placement process can be a complex
arrangement involving many people from a number of organisations. Your first
port of a call should be your local authority's Social Services Department in
which you are considered a permanent resident. Assessments of the level of care
required will be conducted by your appointed Care Manager or Clinician and will
be set against the ability of the Care Provider to satisfy your needs
identified. At Strathallan House, we will make our own assessment to compliment
that conducted by the Care Manager or Clinician, both to ensure and to prove
that we have all the necessary equipment, skill and expertise to accommodate
your every need. Contact Us for more
information.
Once the level of care you require has been established and
agreed a financial value can be placed on this care.
2.
Can I choose Strathallan House over any other Home?
You are entitled to choose any Home you wish to stay in, but
it is useful to consider the advice of your family and potential visitors,
bearing in mind the suitability of the location.
3.
How will I pay for my care whilst living in the Home?
The level of state funding assistance you are entitled to is established via
a financial assessment arranged by your Care Manager or Social Worker, taking
into consideration your:
Personal/ Company Pension
State Pension
State Benefits Entitlement
Capital from the sale of your property
The sale of your other assets
All this considered, you will be issued a statement detailing how much you
will be expected to contribute to your care. In some cases this will be the
total or part total of the sum, and in other cases you may not have to
contribute anything.
In any case you can Contact Us to arrange
a consultation regarding the provision of your care or advice on the entire
process
