Live-in care in Tadley

How we arrange live-in care in Tadley

Day and Nightcare provides fully managed live-in care in Tadley and the villages around it, 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 Tadley

Hampshire County Council’s Adults’ Health and Care arranges adult social care in Tadley, not the borough council or a Berkshire council. 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. 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), which also gives unpaid carers free information, support and help with an emergency plan.

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council collects council tax. Its discounts page explains a disregard for someone with a severe mental impairment such as dementia (a doctor’s declaration and a qualifying benefit are needed), a carer disregard for someone who gives at least 35 hours of care a week to a person on a qualifying benefit, and a disablement reduction for homes with a room or features needed by a disabled resident. See our guide to council tax discounts for care.

Urgent care and leaving hospital in Tadley

• A&E: Hampshire Hospitals includes Tadley in its catchment. Its nearest emergency department, at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital on Aldermaston Road, is open 24 hours; NHS 111 can book you a time slot if it is not an emergency.
• Urgent treatment centre: Basingstoke’s, for acute injuries and minor illness, is reached by going first to the emergency department. There is no minor injuries unit in Tadley; the trust’s walk-in unit is at Andover War Memorial Hospital (weekdays, 8.15am to 4pm).

Families are expected to arrange transport home, so plan who will make the drive back to Tadley; patient transport is for those whose medical condition rules out car or public transport. Medicines questions after discharge go to the trust’s helpline on 01962 824780 (weekdays, 9am to 4pm). There are no rehabilitation wards at Basingstoke or Winchester, so a community hospital bed, such as Alton or Andover, may be offered. If care at home cannot start straight away, the trust offers a short-stay or community ward bed in the meantime, and expects patients to accept it. The British Red Cross Home from Hospital service gives free practical support for up to 12 weeks if the GP or hospital team refers before discharge.

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 is on 0300 123 4448, option 4.
