Live-in care in Bordon

How we arrange live-in care in Bordon

Day and Nightcare provides fully managed live-in care in Whitehill and Bordon and the villages around them, from £1,550 a week. One main carer lives in the home; a relief carer covers their holidays and time off, and a manager is on call. Care starts with a free assessment, a written quote and a written care plan.

Care can be paid for privately, by Hampshire County Council (including direct payments) or by NHS Continuing Healthcare. We have provided Discharge to Assess (D2A) care since 2014. If someone is in hospital, tell us the expected discharge date (see care after hospital). Our care team is on 01865 715780.

Arranging care and funding in Bordon

Hampshire County Council’s Adults’ Health and Care, not the district council, arranges adult social care in Whitehill and Bordon, wherever the hospital is. Call 0300 555 1386 (weekdays 8.30am to 5pm, Tuesdays from 9.30am, Fridays to 4.30pm; out of hours 0300 555 1373), or use the online referral form (weekdays 8am to 8pm, weekends 8.30am to 6.30pm), which the council recommends because phone waits can be long. The needs assessment is free, and anyone can ask for one. With more than £23,250 in savings your relative would usually pay the full cost of care, and the home is not counted when care is at home. Self-funders can ask the council to arrange care at home (if it agrees: £296 once, then £8.75 a week). Financial assessment queries: the council’s Financial Assessments and Benefits Team (01962 845600, if you cannot email). See council funding for care and direct payments.

If you help a relative, you have a right to a carer’s assessment: the Princess Royal Trust for Carers carries them out for the county council through the Hampshire Carers Support Service (01264 311680; emergencies out of hours 0800 169 1577), which also gives unpaid carers free information, support and help with an emergency plan.

East Hampshire District Council collects council tax (01730 234400). Its discounts page covers a reduction for a severely mentally impaired person, a disregard for a carer looking after someone who gets a qualifying benefit such as Attendance Allowance, and a band reduction where a disabled resident needs an extra room with certain features or a wheelchair indoors. See our guide to council tax discounts for care.

Urgent care and leaving hospital in Bordon

• A&E: Frimley Park Hospital, Portsmouth Road, Camberley, and the Royal Surrey County Hospital, Egerton Road, Guildford, both in Surrey and open 24 hours.
• Urgent treatment centre: Petersfield Community Hospital, 8am to 8pm every day (X-ray 9am to 4pm). Book through NHS 111 to cut the wait; people who walk in are assessed by a triage nurse. It is not an A&E.
• Chase Community Hospital, Conde Way (01420 488801), runs community clinics and therapy. It has no minor injuries unit or ward listed.

Two community hospitals with rehabilitation beds are part of many journeys home: Alton Community Hospital, with two 20-bed wards for frailty, rehabilitation and end-of-life care (0300 003 2196), where Age Concern Hampshire’s Hospital to Home service supports patients on the wards and makes follow-up calls after discharge (01962 868545); and Petersfield Hospital, whose Cedar Ward has 21 beds for frailty, rehabilitation and end-of-life care.

The discharge team may also ask the county council’s hospital social work team to assess your relative. The council’s short-term services after hospital include reablement (free for up to six weeks) and the Rapid Support Service (free for up to 28 days). For NHS Continuing Healthcare, NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight’s All Age Continuing Care team for patients of Hampshire GPs is on 0300 123 4448, option 4.
