Live-in care in Weybridge

How we arrange live-in care in Weybridge

Day and Nightcare provides fully managed live-in care in Weybridge 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 Surrey 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.

The assessment is free, and so are reablement for up to six weeks and daily living equipment under £1,000. With more than £23,250 in capital (not counting the home) your relative pays the full cost, and if the council arranges care at home it charges £385 plus £16.50 a week. You can also arrange live-in care directly with a provider; see the cost of live-in care.

A family carer can ask for a free carer’s assessment online or through Action for Carers Surrey (0303 040 1234; Monday to Thursday 9am to 7.30pm, Friday 9am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 12.30pm).

Elmbridge Borough Council collects council tax:

• Severe mental impairment, confirmed by a doctor (free of charge), with a qualifying benefit such as Attendance Allowance: the person is not counted. If only one other resident is counted, the bill falls by 25%; if all residents qualify, the home is exempt. Send one form per person, with proof of the benefit.
• Reduction for disabled people: where a disabled resident needs an extra room, bathroom or kitchen, or uses a wheelchair indoors, the bill drops to the next lowest band.

Urgent care and leaving hospital in Weybridge

• A&E: St Peter’s Hospital, Guildford Road, Chertsey (switchboard 01932 872000), open 24 hours.
• Urgent treatment centre: St Peter’s UTC, 8am to midnight every day, ages 2 and over; walk in, or book through NHS 111. It is not an A&E.
• Walton Community Hospital, Rodney Road (CSH Surrey), provides community health services; it is not on the NHS list of Surrey urgent treatment centres.

St Peter’s asks families to plan transport home in advance if the patient is not eligible for hospital transport; patients wait in the Discharge Lounge and leave with a discharge plan and medicines. Action for Carers has a Hospital Carer Advisor at Ashford and St Peter’s, Tuesday to Friday, through its helpline.

Under Discharge to Assess, the county council assesses long-term needs after discharge, for most people at home. Elmbridge is part of Homesafe Plus: six weeks of support such as a community alarm and a temporary key safe. Ask the ward team to refer (01483 743 668; you may have to pay).

For NHS Continuing Healthcare, NHS Surrey and Sussex ICB’s Surrey team is on 0300 561 1444.
