Welcome from Peterborough City CouncilWelcome to the latest edition of Peterborough City Council’s Care and Support Services Directory. This 2018/19 edition will provide you with information on health and social care and support across the city.

We want people in Peterborough to maintain their independence for as long as possible and enjoy the best possible quality of life. Fundamental to enabling you to make the right decisions about care and support will be high-quality information and advice. This Directory is one way of providing information. You can also look at our new Peterborough Information Network on www.peterborough.gov.uk/pin or by searching for

‘Peterborough Information Network’ on Google.

We are working closely with our health colleagues and neighbouring councils to join up health and social care services to give the best community-based care when it is needed.

We know that making decisions about social care can be daunting, particularly if you have had no involvement with social care before. This Directory provides clear, easy to understand guidance so that you can be confident you are making the right decisions.

Keeping healthy and wellHealthy PeterboroughThe Healthy Peterborough service delivers a range of programmes and interventions across the city with a focus on promoting and improving health. The services listed below are examples of programmes provided. They are all free at the point of access. All you have to do is call freephone 0800 376 5655 and speak to one of the friendly Healthy Peterborough team members who can provide advice and book you into a clinic or programme.

Stop smokingThe Healthy Peterborough service is here to help you stop smoking. Smokers are up to four times more likely to succeed in quitting with support from the stop smoking service than if they try to quit unaided. Our stop smoking specialists deliver support across the city and can help you achieve your goal of giving up smoking. Call freephone 0800 376 5655 and speak to one of the friendly Healthy Peterborough team members.

Free NHS Health Check programmeThe free NHS Health Check programme is a public health programme in England for eligible people

aged 40 to 74. If you wish to book a health check then please contact your GP practice.

Physical activity and weight managementHealthy Peterborough delivers free physical activity and weight management programmes to adults who are overweight and/or physically inactive, as well as those living with long-term conditions. Free Let’s Get Healthy clubs for children are also provided through Healthy Peterborough. Call freephone 0800 376 5655 and speak to one of the friendly Healthy Peterborough team members.

Learning disability Annual Health ChecksThe Annual Health Check scheme is for people aged 14 and over who have been assessed as having a borderline, mild, moderate, severe or profound learning disability who need more health support. It helps to detect health conditions that may otherwise go undetected. People with learning disabilities who are known to their local authority social services and are registered with a GP who knows their medical history, should be invited by their GP practice to come for a free Annual Health Check.


Staying independent Support on discharge from hospitalFollowing hospital admission, you may need support, short or long-term, to maximise your independence. This might be a new service or a continuation or increase of your previous support.

You or your family can contact the Transfer of Care Team, based at the hospital, directly on 01733 454481. The team will need a formal referral from the ward staff, which you can ask them to complete.

The Transfer of Care Team will support you to determine whether you could be eligible for services provided by Peterborough City Council, and will also liaise with community health colleagues regarding Continuing Healthcare, see page 22, and other services in the community. In many cases, the Transfer of Care Team will be able to offer you a period of reablement (see page 9) to support you.

Technology Enabled Care and AdaptationsYou might find Technology Enabled Care (TEC) or Assistive Technology useful. TEC covers a wide variety of equipment and devices, both simple and complex, that can promote your independence and enable you to live at home for longer.

TEC plays an important part in managing or minimising risks, including personal safety, home safety, falls prevention and medication

management. It supports carers by providing reassurance, peace of mind and reducing stress so they can better manage the demands of their own home and work life alongside their caring role.

More information on TEC can be found on the Peterborough Information Network, visit www.peterborough.gov.uk/pin and search ‘Technology Enabled Care’.

Avoiding fallsImproving safety in the home can help prevent you from having falls and injuring yourself, whilst allowing you to continue to live independently.

Falls, slips and trips can lead to broken hips or wrists and other injuries, and are a leading cause of disability among the older population. Falls in the home can result in ill health, lengthy hospital stays, residential care or loss of independence, and can greatly affect your quality of life.

Various aspects of the home environment can be improved to reduce the risk of having a fall. Family, friends, neighbours and carers can help make things safer for you while allowing you to stay independent and self-sufficient. Shown below are some tips on avoiding falls:

• Make sure that the hallway and stairs have working lights - if possible replace the bulbs with low energy bulbs and keep a light on overnight.

• Wear slippers with an appropriate heel so that they stay firmly on the feet.

• Regular gentle exercise can help reduce the risk and fear of falling. Exercise such as Tai Chi is particularly helpful for improving balance.

• Have grab rails installed at key sites around the home or at the entrance to the home.

• Fasten down any torn bits of carpet or lino.

• Avoid tripping over the edge of rugs by either removing them or fastening down the edges.

• Review medication with your GP or pharmacist.

• Ensure that you look after your feet and ask for a referral to a podiatrist if you are worried about your feet.

• Speak to your occupational therapist who can give you lots of advice.


Finding it difficult to get in and out of chairs? Try putting a block of foam in the chair base. Alternatively, buy chair raisers, a higher chair or an electric riser chair. Also try taking regular gentle exercise.

If you can’t reach your windows, could you move furniture out of the way? Ask someone to help if you need to move heavy furniture. There are also tools for opening and closing windows.

Struggling to keep warm/cool? Consider a fan or heater. Is your house insulated? Are there any draughts? You may also be eligible for the winter fuel payment from the Government. Visit www.gov.uk/winter-fuel-payment

If you have trouble using light switches, think about replacing your switches for ones that are easier to use. Consider handi-plugs or light switch toggles, or there’s even technology available so that you can turn your lights on and off using speech.

Use subtitles if you can’t hear the TV, or buy wireless headphones. Do you need a hearing aid? Request an assessment from your Council.

Do you forget to take your tablets? Try making a note of when you’ve taken them, or buy an automatic pill dispenser or pill box. If you struggle to open your medicine, you can ask your pharmacist for advice on alternative packaging that could make it easier for you.

Can you reach everything in your cupboards? If not, try a handi-reacher or rearrange your kitchen so the things you use most are within easy reach.

If you are having problems with preparing food, consider a chopping board with spikes. There are also long-handled pans, teapot tippers and lid grippers that could help. A food processor might be a solution and meal delivery services are also available.

Is eating and drinking becoming difficult? Large handled cutlery could help, or non-slip mats for the table. Lightweight cups and mugs with two handles could also be a solution.

Using taps can be made easier by fitting tap turners. You could also consider repositioning your taps or buying a new tap that is easier for you to use.

Tap turners Grab handles Chopping board Hand trolley Teapot tipper

Making life easier at homeIf you’re having difficulties with everyday tasks at home, these simple solutions could make life easier and keep you independent. These are a starting point; other solutions are available which might better suit your needs.


If it’s hard to hold your toothbrush, try a toothbrush gripper. You might also benefit from having an electric toothbrush or sitting on a stool while brushing your teeth.

You might like to buy a raised toilet seat, or a seat with a built in support frame if it’s hard to use your toilet. Flush lever extensions are also available.

Has it become more difficult to wash? Items are available, like long-handled sponges and flannel straps. You could also consider grab rails, a half step to help you get in and out of the bath or a bath or shower seat to make washing easier. Tap turners can also be used in the bathroom.

For more information on technology that could make your life easier, contact your Council for an assessment. They might refer you to an occupational therapist (OT) or you could contact an OT privately. Search online for OTs near you. You can also look online on the Peterborough Information Network for more help and advice.

Visit www.peterborough.gov.uk/pin

Do you struggle to get in and out of bed? You could learn new ways of moving around, purchase a leg lifter or a hoist or install grab rails for support. If the bed is the issue, you could buy an electric adjustable bed or raise the bed to the correct height.

If moving whilst in bed is a problem, have you thought about using an over-bed pole? You might also want to buy a pillow raiser or change your bedding so it’s lighter.

Is it becoming difficult to get dressed? If so, specially adapted clothing is available, or you could buy a long-handled shoe horn, a dressing stick or a button hook. If you are having a lot of difficulty, consider home support, see page 11.

Clocks are available with large numbers or lights if you can’t read the time in bed. You can also buy clocks that speak the time.

If you are finding it harder to read in bed, consider an e-reader that allows you to change the font size. Some also have integrated lights. Look for bedside lamps with a step-on or button switch if yours are difficult to use.

ReablementReablement is short-term support to help you live independently again. It gives people over the age of 18 the opportunity, motivation and confidence to relearn or regain some of the skills they may have lost as a consequence of poor health, disability, impairment or accident. It may also enable you to learn new skills that can help you develop and maintain your independence. As well as the satisfaction you may gain from being able to do more things for yourself, input from the reablement service is likely to reduce your need for longer-term care and support. Often, no ongoing care is required after the period of reablement.

Reablement can help with a range of tasks, including:

• personal care tasks such as washing and dressing;

• domestic skills, such as food and drink preparation;

• encouraging you to be confident when moving around, including getting up and out of a chair,

getting in and out of bed and getting on and off the toilet.

Access to reablement services is through a discussion with a social care professional. Trained reablement staff will work with you to ensure that you are supported in your own home and that you set achievable goals. These will be based on what is reasonable for you to expect to be able to do for yourself at the end of the reablement service. The goals will be recorded as part of your Goal/Support Plan and will be kept in your home so that you, your unpaid carers and reablement staff can monitor your achievements and identify new goals to work towards. The emphasis of the service will always be to encourage you to do things for yourself.

If you still have ongoing care and support needs following the period of reablement, you may be eligible for care and support.

Assessment and supportMaking contactWe hope that you will be able to find all the information you need on the Peterborough Information Network. However, if you are unable to find what you are looking for online, you can contact the Adult Early Help Team. The trained staff know about the services available and can offer advice on who else may be able to help. You can contact them on 01733 747474. If your request is urgent and cannot wait, out of hours you can contact the Emergency Duty Team on 01733 234724.

If you think you need help with a mental health condition, you should contact your GP in the first instance. They may refer you to the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT). See page 25 for more information about mental health

services and contact details. You can also call 111 and select option 2.

What happens next?When you contact the Adult Early Help Team, you will be asked for some basic details. You could be offered information and advice, short-term support to remain independent, or a social care assessment. The aim is to maximise your independence and ensure you receive the support you need. You can receive pieces of equipment (called ‘Technology Enabled Care’ or ‘Assistive Technology’) or short-term support (called ‘reablement’) without the need to go through a social care assessment or eligibility check. You can find out more about these services in the information starting on page 6. There is no charge for these services.

Social care assessments and eligibility for supportIf, following a discussion with the Adult Early Help Team, it is felt that you need a social care assessment, this will be arranged. If possible, the

assessment may be completed over the phone when you first contact us. However, we will carry out a face-to-face assessment if your circumstances


suggest that this would be beneficial. It is important to understand that even if you are found to be eligible for social care, you may have to pay for your care. This is dependent on how much money you have and is explained further on page 20.

The Government has set a national eligibility threshold, which is the same across England. This national eligibility consists of three criteria, all of which must be met for a person’s needs to be eligible. The eligibility threshold is based on finding out:

• whether your needs are due to a physical or mental impairment or illness;

• to what extent your needs affect your ability to achieve two or more outcomes, such as being able to wash, dress yourself, or make use of your home safely; and

• whether, and to what extent, this impacts on your wellbeing.

As part of the assessment, we will talk with you about what is important to you, and whether your wellbeing is affected.

After the assessment, we will make a decision about whether you are eligible for care and support and will explain any decision to you.

If you are eligible for supportIf you are eligible for social care support, we will complete a financial assessment to understand whether you will need to pay some or all of the cost

of the support. This will depend on your income and any savings you may have.

If you are not eligibleIf you are not eligible for support from us, we will offer free advice and information and put you in touch with other organisations and services in your community that may be able to help you. This may include some of our in-house services, such as reablement or occupational therapy. Many people find that seeking advice from us is helpful in finding their own solutions because it provides an opportunity to discuss their situation with a social care professional.

If your needs changeIf your needs change, you can always ask us for a reassessment. Simply call the Adult Early Help Team on 01733 747474 or email [email protected]

Carers’ eligibilityCarers have the same rights to an assessment as the person they care for. The aim of a carer’s assessment is to find out what impact caring responsibilities have on the carer’s wellbeing and to identify ways in which they can be supported to provide, and continue to provide, care.

A carer may have eligible needs if they meet the following criteria:

• their needs arise as consequence of providing necessary care for an adult;

and, as a result:

• their health is, or is at risk of, deteriorating;

• they are unable to achieve specified outcomes; or

• there is or is likely to be a significant impact on their wellbeing.

If, following an assessment, a carer is eligible for services, a social care professional will contact them to discuss the impact of the caring role on their wellbeing and will help the carer to develop a support plan to meet their needs and identified outcomes.


For more detailed information, visit the Department of Health’s guidance – go to www.gov.uk and search ‘Care Act factsheets’. You can also look on the Caring for Someone pages on the Peterborough Information Network at

www.peterborough.gov.uk/pin

For more information on support for carers, go to page 27.

AdvocacyAs part of the assessment process, the council may have a duty to offer you support from an independent advocate. This person cannot be involved in your care and support in a paid capacity and must be appropriately trained and supported to fulfil this role.

Advocacy services help you to say what you want and to get the services you need. They will work to empower you to have a voice and to make choices by providing support, information and representation as required.

Advocacy support can be provided by a wide range of people including friends, family or someone working for a charity or community group. Sometimes people prefer to have someone they know to support them, sometimes people choose to receive support from a professional, independent advocate.

In Peterborough, all commissioned statutory and

non-statutory advocacy services are delivered by a new partnership of specialist advocacy organisations and co-ordinated through one central team. The service is called Total Voice and brings together advocates from VoiceAbility, Cambridgeshire Deaf Association and National Youth Advocacy Service (NYAS).

How to contact Total Voice:Referral helpline: 0300 222 5704Email: [email protected]: www.totalvoicecp.orgAddress: Peterborough Office, 27 London Road, Peterborough PE2 8AN

Drop in sessions are available on Wednesday afternoons.

Children and young people who are looked after or who have a disability and are classified as children in need can contact an NYAS adviser directly by calling 0808 808 1001 or via email at [email protected]

What support is available?Independent home care providersIn order to enable you to live in your own home for as long as possible, a range of home care services is available. These cover day-to-day tasks such as cleaning, shopping and food preparation/cooking, through to personal care that helps with dressing, bathing, toileting and prompting the taking of medication. Care workers need to be properly trained, particularly in moving and handling and the use of hoists for some tasks.

Daily care supportCare workers can call in on a daily basis to assist with any of the tasks described above. Depending on the

level of help you require, their visits can be just half an hour or up to several hours. Generally, visits are available from 7.00am until 10.00pm. Some people will need multiple visits per day. Night services can also be provided. The hourly rate for these types of services depends on the services you require, the time of day and the location. Rural areas may present particular difficulties and a travel charge will probably be made in addition to the normal hourly rate.

Live-in care24-hour live-in care can accommodate you if you


have a very high dependency on a permanent basis. It can also provide respite breaks for regular carers and short-term support following hospital discharge.

In some cases, it’s preferable and more economical to have a care worker actually living in your home. This can be for a short period, for example a week, or on an ongoing basis. Typical charges for this service depend on the amount of care and the particular skills required. Live-in care is also available to people with permanent physical disabilities or mental health conditions who require long-term ongoing care.

All home care providers are regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission which publishes inspection reports on its website, www.cqc.org.uk and awards quality ratings. See page 23 for more details about the Care Quality Commission.

Before you make any decisions regarding the provision of care, be sure to contact several providers and ask for a ‘Service User’s Guide’ and

their charges. If you are self-funding, you should also request a draft contract between you and the care provider. For more information on home care providers look on the Peterborough Information Network at www.peterborough.gov.uk/pin

Personal assistantsA personal assistant (PA) is someone who enables you to maintain your independence by providing support. The PA can be employed by you or be self-employed.

There is a register of PAs in Peterborough which can be found by searching on the Peterborough Information Network at www.peterborough.gov.

uk/pin with the search term ‘personal assistant’. All PAs on the register have been thoroughly checked by Peterborough Council for Voluntary Services (PCVS) before they are placed on the register. The register includes details about the support the approved PAs can provide and their direct contact details. For more information, email PCVS at [email protected]

Protection for people who lack capacityYour liberty can only be taken away from you in very specific situations. The Mental Capacity Act calls this a deprivation of liberty. It should only be used if it is the least restrictive way of keeping you safe or making sure you have the right medical treatment.

Being deprived of liberty means that you are not free to go anywhere without permission or close supervision, and you are usually under continuous control and supervision. This is against the law unless it is done under the rules set out in the Mental Capacity Act.

This may happen if you need to go into a care home or hospital to get care or treatment, but you don’t have the capacity to make decisions about this yourself.

If you are living at home, you can also be deprived of your liberty lawfully if the Court of Protection makes an order allowing it. The Court of Protection makes decisions and appoints deputies to act on your behalf if you are unable to make decisions about your personal health, finance or welfare. Contact the council for more information.

DementiaIf someone you know has been feeling confused, agitated or forgetful, it may be a good idea for them to visit their GP. You might want to consider accompanying them to the appointment.

Each person will experience dementia in their own individual way, but there will usually be a decline in memory, reasoning and communication skills, confusion and a gradual loss of the skills needed to carry out daily activities.

Peterborough’s Dementia Resource Centre offers residents a one-stop shop for dementia care and support. It is delivered by Alzheimer’s Society on behalf of Peterborough City Council and also includes the NHS Memory Clinic, which is where people are tested for dementia.

The Centre can be found at 441 Lincoln Road, Millfield, Peterborough PE1 2PE.

Residents can access the service without an

appointment to learn more about memory issues and dementia. The Centre is open six days a week including some evenings. The team based there offers advice, information and support in the lead up to being assessed by the Memory Clinic. The team also provides ongoing support to the person with dementia and their carers/families after diagnosis.

The Centre provides a range of support groups and activities for people with dementia and their carers and families, including walking groups, gardening clubs, and arts and crafts groups. Additionally, there are groups specifically for black and minority ethnic communities and people with dementia who are under 65.

For more information about the Centre, or to speak to someone about dementia, please contact Alzheimer’s Society on 01733 893853.

You can also find out more on the dementia page on the Peterborough Information Network website.

Supported employment Supported Employment teams provide flexible programmes to support people who want to work but are facing barriers due to a disability. They work closely with employers in a broad range of vocations to secure jobs, work experience and voluntary placements in local businesses.

These include retail, production, office work, cleaning services and catering. There are also work opportunities in mini enterprises providing services to businesses in catering, grounds maintenance and car washing.

Please call 01733 797710 for more information.

Young people and transition to adulthood When a young person with disabilities or a young carer approaches their 18th birthday, they may ask for an assessment. A parent or carer may also ask for an assessment as the child they are caring for approaches 18.

If the young person has a learning disability, sensory

impairment and/or a physical disability and has an Education, Health and Care Plan, the assessment will be undertaken by the 0 to 25 Disability Service.

The service works in partnership with a range of local services to provide information, advice and care plan support to help disabled young people develop a transitions pathway and prepare for life as they become an adult.

More information can be found on the Local Offer at www.peterborough.gov.uk/LocalOffer

Resource for those supporting disabled childrenMy Family, Our Needs is an online resource providing impartial information for parents, carers and practitioners supporting children from birth to 25 years with additional needs.

As well as guidance, policy and signposting, there is a lifestyle section for parents covering topics such as health and wellbeing, work, family and relationships. Visit www.myfamilyourneeds.co.uk


The voluntary and community sector in PeterboroughIf you think about everything you need to live an active and independent life, whether this is education, social welfare and care, health, environment, policing, local sports clubs, transport, housing, retail, advice work, employment, faith, arts, playgroups, law and advocacy, social and interest activities to name but a few, you will find a Peterborough not-for-profit organisation that provides work in this area.

Peterborough has a strong, thriving voluntary and community sector. Groups range in size from very small, just three or four people supporting each other, through to large national charities having a base in the city. The diversity of the sector enables us to support thousands of people with their everyday lives.

Supporting this vast network of groups and organisations are paid staff and an army of

volunteers. There are lots of reasons why people choose to volunteer, including:

• to meet people;

• to give something back;

• to learn new skills or keep existing skills going;

• to build confidence; and

• to help with the search for employment, which is one of the biggest areas of volunteering today.

If you are interested in receiving support or advice on volunteering or setting up a support group, please contact Peterborough Council for Voluntary Services (PCVS) on 01733 311016 or email [email protected]

PCVS can also provide information and advice on the wide range of voluntary support organisations and networks that operate across the city.

The Peterborough Wellbeing ServiceThe Peterborough Wellbeing Service is run by PCVS. They are able to point people in the right direction for a range of services and supplies including:

• short-term support if someone is unwell;

• support after leaving hospital;

• replacement radiators, energy advice;

• handyperson support;

• support for people who have experienced a recent death of a loved one;

• support for people who have brain injuries and strokes;

• support for people with physical disabilities and their carers, including access to sports facilities;

• support for people with poor hearing and/or eyesight;

• support for people with mental health issues;

• nutrition and exercise classes;

• volunteer opportunities;

• befriending and social interaction through community groups;

• sitting service;

• support for carers and their families;

• safety, security and access to your home;

• managing finances; and

• cleaning and gardening.

Some services are available for free, but some may be charged for. For more information, call 01733 342683.

Comments, compliments and complaintsIf you have a comment, compliment or complaint about care and support services, you can provide feedback by:

• telling any member of staff you feel comfortable

with;

• calling the Adult Early Help Team on 01733 747474;

• writing to us at The Central Complaints Office, Peterborough City Council, Town Hall, Bridge Street, Peterborough PE1 1HQ; or

• emailing us at [email protected]

If you are not satisfied with the final reply from Peterborough City Council, you can contact the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman

on 0300 061 0614.

Complaints about care that you pay for yourselfYou can ask the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman to take up your case if you are not happy about how a care home or service dealt with your complaint about care that you pay for yourself. You can also contact the Care Quality Commission. You can find the contact details on page 23.

The Housing Needs Service is based in the Town Hall, Bridge Street, Peterborough. You can contact the service on 01733 864064 and, if necessary, you will be given an appointment to see a Housing Needs Officer. If you do not have access to a telephone, you can visit the Customer Self Serve Centre at the Town Hall where telephones are available for public use.

Major adaptationsIf you require major adaptations to your home, an Occupational Therapist referral is the first step. To request this, telephone 01733 747474 and select option 4. If work is necessary and appropriate, a referral can be sent to Care and Repair who can assist you in applying for a means-tested Disabled Facilities Grant to help with some or all of the costs.

You may qualify for a Disabled Facilities Grant if you are on a low or moderate income. If you require only

minor aids and adaptations they may be supplied at no cost.

If you are an owner-occupier on a low income and your house is in serious disrepair, or your heating is not functioning and is uneconomical to repair, grants may be available.

Contact the Care and Repair Home Improvement Agency on 01733 863895 for further details.

Handyperson schemeCare and Repair’s handyperson scheme offers assistance to local residents where their houses are occupied solely by vulnerable, older people (aged over 65) and disabled people. The scheme will undertake small repairs / tasks (less than 4 hours) to

prevent falls and help people to live independently. The scheme uses vetted contractors to undertake the works. The labour costs of the service are free but material costs will be charged. You can contact the Handyperson Scheme by calling 01733 863864.


Extra Care housingExtra Care housing is specially-designed accommodation for older people who are becoming frail or who have dementia and are less able to do things themselves. It offers individual flats with your own front door, with care and support available in the building. If you are over 55 and need some care or support to live independently, Extra Care housing could be for you.

Care homesAll care providers in the country must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). All services are inspected by the CQC, which reports on its findings. These inspection reports, along with quality ratings, are available from the service or from the CQC website at www.cqc.org.uk

There are two types of residential home:

Care homes (personal care only)If you need someone to look after you 24-hours a day, but don’t need nursing care, a care home offering only personal care may be the best option. Personal care includes bathing, feeding, dressing and help with moving but it must be paid for from your own resources if your capital/savings exceed £23,250. See page 20 for more information on paying for your care.

Care homes with nursingCare homes with nursing provide the same personal

care as care homes but with trained nursing staff on duty 24-hours a day.

If you think you may need nursing care in a home, you will need to be visited by a social worker or a care manager to work out what care you will need. This visit might be in your own home, or in hospital if you’ve been ill, or in a care home. You will be fully involved in planning your care needs.

If a care home providing nursing care is the best solution for you, your social worker will give you information to help you find a home which meets your care requirements. The cost of the nursing care part of your fees is paid by the NHS to the home directly. See page 22 for more information about NHS Nursing Care Contribution.

You can find more information on the Peterborough Information Network at www.peterborough.gov.uk/pin


Comprehensive lists of care homes and care homes with nursing in Peterborough and borderline areas begin on page 49.

Protection for those who lack capacityGoing into a care home is a big step for anyone, and sometimes people do not have the capacity to consent to the decision or to consider whether this is in their best interest. The Mental Capacity Act introduced Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards, which offer protection to people entering care homes without capacity, and for those living in care homes who lose mental capacity.

If someone is identified by a care home as lacking the mental capacity to agree to their stay, the home must apply to the council (the supervisory body) requesting an authorisation of a deprivation of liberty.

When an application is received we will arrange for a Best Interest Assessor to visit the person in their care setting, and to consult with care staff at the home and family and friends, to determine that living in the care home is in their best interests. A specialist doctor will also visit to confirm a reason why the person lacks capacity and that they are eligible for such an authorisation. The assessment will check whether the restrictions to the person are proportionate and necessary and that there are no lesser restrictive options for them.

Authorisations last for a maximum of one year and a further application will then be required.

Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards can also be applied in other settings, such as hospitals and supported living schemes.

Moving from one area of the country to anotherSometimes people choose to live in another area of the country as they want to be closer to friends or family. Peterborough City Council will work together with the new local authority to ensure that your care continues.

Paying for your careIf you have been assessed as eligible for care and support (see page 9) and your needs cannot be met through information and advice or free services, it might be necessary for us to undertake a financial assessment to look at your care needs and how much you may have to pay. The financial assessment will look at your income and what assets you have,

for example savings and property. If you have over a certain amount, currently £23,250, you will be responsible for paying for your care yourself. The council can arrange your care for you in some circumstances if you choose; however a nominal fee will be charged for this. The value of your home is not included if you are to receive home care.

Your support plan and personal budgetIf you have eligible needs, we will contact you to discuss what help might be available and work with you to put together a care and support plan tailored to your needs.

Your plan will work out how you can do the things that are important to you and your family, with the right level of care and support. You will also know how much it will cost to meet your needs and how much the council will contribute towards the cost. This is your personal budget.

There is no obligation for you to manage your personal budget yourself, and there is choice about how care and support is arranged. In some cases, you may ask the council to arrange services on your behalf, or you could request a direct payment.

Using your personal budgetYou may choose how to spend your personal budget, providing that it meets your eligible social care needs based on the outcomes agreed and

outlined in your care and support plan.

Some examples of how a personal budget can be used include:

• arranging a care agency to provide you with care and support at home with things like getting dressed, preparing a meal, washing and toileting;

• arranging day care activities with a care provider;

• arranging and paying for respite care to give you and your carers a short break; or

• paying for any support you may need when your carer takes a break.

Direct paymentsA direct payment is a personal budget taken as a cash payment made directly to you. It can also be paid directly to an authorised person or organisation acting on your behalf. Direct payments can be used to buy your own care and support, and can give you a greater ability to choose and control your own care services and help you to achieve better outcomes.

Using your direct paymentYou can use a direct payment to employ your own

personal assistant to help and support you, and pay them a wage from your direct payment. If you employ someone directly as a personal assistant, expert help and advice is available on how to calculate and pay your employee’s wages, and how to undertake your responsibilities as an employer.

You can find out more about personal assistants on page 12. Alternatively, visit the Peterborough Information Network at www.peterborough.gov.uk/pin and search ‘personal assistant’.


You may also use your direct payment to pay for certain types of equipment to help you live independently at home. If you take your personal budget as a direct payment, you will need to keep a record of how you spend the money and the amounts that you hold in the bank account that you use for your direct payments – but you can get help with this if you need it.

Peterborough City Council will need to see your direct payment records, usually every three months.

You can get support with direct payments from Peterborough Council for Voluntary Services. Tel: 01733 342683Email: [email protected]

Paying the full cost of care yourself – being a ‘self-funder’If you know that you will need to pay the full cost of your care, either in your own home or in a care home, and arrange this yourself, you do not need to be assessed by the council. However, you can choose to contact Peterborough City Council at any point for advice and guidance, or to request an assessment of your needs if you would like one, to ensure you are purchasing the appropriate support.

If you are paying for the full cost of your care and have capital over £23,250 then independent financial advice will help you to maximise your investments to cover care costs for as long as possible.

There are lots of organisations that can give you advice about funding your care and support costs in the future. You may find the following websites useful:

• www.payingforcare.org

• www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk

You can also find a number of organisations which can help you with independent financial advice on the Peterborough Information Network on www.peterborough.gov.uk/pin

If you do speak to an independent financial adviser, you need to be aware that there may be a charge for this service.

We would recommend that the financial adviser is accredited by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or is accredited with the Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA). Visit www.societyoflaterlifeadvisers.co.uk to find an accredited adviser.

If you are moving into a care home, you may be

entitled to some of the following financial assistance and support:

12-week property disregardPeterborough City Council will help with the cost of your care during the first 12 weeks of permanent care, provided our assessment has shown that this is the kind of care you need. This is called the ‘property disregard’ period.

This applies if:

• your former home is included in your financial assessment;

Age Care Advice help self funders find, coordinate and monitor their care. We promise to:

• Offer competitive costs for this process

• Assess what care you require within 48 hours of first contact

• Provide you access to our experienced local assessors 7 days a week

• Use the whole care market and direction to find the best care for you

• your other capital and savings are less than £23,250; and

• your income is not enough to meet your care home fees.

Deferred payment agreements (DPAs)A DPA is an arrangement with Peterborough City Council that enables you to use the value of your home to help pay care home costs. If you are eligible, we will make payments to the care home on your behalf as an ongoing loan, on which interest will be charged, using your home as security. You can delay repaying us until you choose to sell your home.

Until your property is sold, you will need to make a part-payment every four weeks towards the cost of your care, based on your weekly income. Once the property is sold, a financial assessment review will take place to determine whether you are entitled to council funding assistance with your care fees, or if you need to pay for your care from your own financial resources. If this is the case, you will be advised of the date from which you should start to pay the home.

Although you do not need to sell your home during your lifetime, it may affect your entitlement to Pension Credit if your property is not seen to be on the market and becomes treated as capital by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

Third party paymentsSome care homes and care homes with nursing charge fees that are higher than the maximum amount Peterborough City Council can contribute. If we are contributing towards your care home fees and you choose to move into a home which charges a higher fee, the difference between the two amounts must be paid for by a third party, usually a relative or a charity. Third party payments are sometimes referred to as ‘top-up’ payments. Please note, this amount will be charged in addition to your assessed contribution.

The general rule is that you cannot use your own money to fund a third party payment. However, in certain specific circumstances you may make a third party payment from your own funds. These are:

• when you are eligible for the 12-week property disregard; or

• when you have a deferred payment agreement.

We recommend that you seek independent financial and legal advice if you are considering these options.

NHS Funded Nursing Care ContributionWhether you are a temporary or permanent resident, if you live in a care home that provides nursing care, you may be entitled to a non-means-tested NHS Funded Nursing Care Contribution (£158.16 per week for the standard rate at the time of publication) towards the cost of your nursing care. This is paid directly to the home. You can find more information by searching ‘NHS Funded Nursing Care’ on www.nhs.uk

NHS Continuing Healthcare FundingIf you have primary health needs and are eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding, the NHS will pay for the full cost of your care in any setting, including your own home or a care home. To be eligible your primary needs must be health-related. More information can be found by searching ‘NHS Continuing Healthcare’ on www.nhs.uk

Attendance AllowanceThis is a non-means-tested, non-taxable benefit from the Department for Work and Pensions paid at the lower rate of £57.30 per week for those needing care by day or night and at the higher rate of £85.60 per week for those needing care both during the day and night. If you go into permanent care funded by Peterborough City Council, you will no longer be entitled to Attendance Allowance. You can find out more by searching ‘Attendance Allowance’ on www.gov.uk

Whatever your circumstances…Remember:

• your assessment will be made up of two elements, a care part and a financial one;

• a nursing home will generally be more expensive than a residential home offering personal care only; and

• if your partner remains at home, their finances will not be included in the financial assessment to work out how much you have to contribute towards your care costs.

Please note, some of the figures mentioned here may change during the lifetime of this Directory.


Monitoring the quality of our servicesWe want to provide the best quality services to the people of Peterborough. Regulations for residential, nursing and home care services focus on improving outcomes for adults who need support. These regulations underline the importance of service users having a say and making decisions about how to keep healthy and get the right care and support.

We work closely with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Clinical Commissioning Groups and care providers to make sure we maintain high-quality standards in the care provided to people in Peterborough. We also continue to have a strong commitment to safeguarding those adults who may be at risk of experiencing abuse or exploitation.

Inspecting and regulating care servicesHealth and social care services must be registered to show that they meet a set of standards.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. It registers care providers and inspects and rates services. When things go wrong, the CQC can also take action to protect people who use services.

After an inspection of a care home or home care agency, the CQC publishes a report of what it found. The report looks at how well the service meets the CQC’s five key questions: Is the service safe? Effective? Caring? Responsive to people’s needs? Well-led?

Each care home and home care agency will get an overall rating of outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate. It will also get ratings for each key question. The ratings mean you can easily see where a service is performing well, and

where it needs to improve.

It’s always a good idea to check inspection reports and ratings when choosing a care service. You can find reports and ratings on the CQC’s website (www.cqc.org.uk ). Care providers must also display their latest rating at their premises and on their website.

You can also tell the CQC about your experiences of care – good or bad. It can use your information to see where it should inspect next, and what to look out for when it does. If you want to share your experience of care, visit www.cqc.org.uk/share

Tel: 03000 616161 Email: [email protected]: www.cqc.org.ukWrite to: The Care Quality Commission, Citygate, Gallowgate, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 4PA

Local quality checking arrangementsIn addition to the inspections carried out by the Care Quality Commission, Peterborough City Council has a Quality Improvement Team. The team works to build positive working relationships with Peterborough’s

Adult Social Care market by providing advice, consultancy and support. They share knowledge, skills and expertise by promoting best practice, contractual and legislative compliance.

Healthwatch Enter and ViewHealthwatch is an independent consumer champion for health and social care. It has statutory power to Enter and View places providing publicly-funded health or care services, to see and hear how people experience the services. Healthwatch writes and

publishes a report after each visit. Reports are shared with the organisation, the Care Quality Commission, commissioners, quality assurers, Healthwatch England and any other relevant partners. You can find out more on www.healthwatchpeterborough.co.uk


Keeping people safe Everyone has the right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect. Safeguarding adults is about organisations working together to prevent abuse or neglect, whilst at the same time making sure that the person is always put first, having regard to their views, wishes, feelings and beliefs in deciding any action.

If you have care and support needs, the council has an adult safeguarding procedure in place to help protect you from neglect and abuse.

If you are concerned about yourself or someone else being abused, we will:

• listen to your views and wishes;

• take you seriously;

• treat you with respect;

• support you to feel as safe as you want;

• support you to make your own decisions; and

• keep you informed and involved and tell you what will happen next.

Forms of abuse could be: physical abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse or exploitation, psychological abuse, financial or material abuse, modern slavery, discriminatory abuse, organisational abuse, neglect and acts of omission, or self-neglect.

If you have a concern, suspicion or allegation that an adult with care and support needs is being subjected to harm, abuse or neglect you should contact Adult Social Care at Peterborough City Council. Within office hours, please call the Adult Early Help Team

on 01733 747474, or outside office hours, please call the Emergency Duty Team on 01733 234724.

If you think a crime has been committed, you should call the police on 101 for anything that is not urgent.

You should always call 999 if you feel that someone is in immediate danger.

What we will doWhen any form of abuse is reported to us, we will:

• contact you to discuss your concern and gather additional information;

• contact the adult you are concerned about to establish what they wish to happen;

• contact other professionals and then assess the level of risk; and

• ensure any immediate action required is taken.

Information is not usually shared without the permission of the person it concerns. The exceptions to this are:

• situations where others may be at risk of abuse and/or the person is not able to make decisions for themselves because of their mental capacity; and

• where a crime has been committed and information is requested by the police under their powers.

We will always inform you if we have to share information about you without your consent.

Local health servicesCambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning GroupClinical commissioning is the planning, buying and monitoring of health care. It is all about making sure that health care services meet the needs of local populations safely and effectively, within the resources available. Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group

(CCG) is led by local doctors and other local health professionals.

This means that decisions about local health services are made by local doctors and health professionals who best understand the needs of their patients.


Every GP practice across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough (plus two practices in Northamptonshire and three practices in Hertfordshire), is a member of the CCG, including the 29 GP practices within Peterborough (serving a population of approximately 258,500 people).

How can I get involved?Most GP surgeries across Greater Peterborough now have a Patient Participation Group (PPG). A PPG is a group of patients from the GP practice, interested in health and health care issues, who want to get involved with and support the running of their local GP practice.

To find out if your GP practice has a PPG and to find out how to become involved, talk to your local GP surgery or contact the CCG’s Engagement Team:

MyHealth Cambridgeshire and PeterboroughA new app to help Cambridgeshire and Peterborough residents find local NHS services is now available to download.

Quick and easy-to-use, the ‘MyHealth Cambridgeshire and Peterborough’ app directs you to your nearest appropriate NHS service. This

includes local GPs, pharmacies, minor injury units, and dentists, based on your location or postcode.

The app is free to download for iOS via Apple Store and Android via Google Play by searching for ‘MyHealth C&P CCG’. It is also available in five other languages, including Polish, Latvian, and Lithuanian.

Support for carers A carer is someone who helps another person, usually a relative or friend, in their day-to-day life. This is not the same as someone who provides care professionally, or through a voluntary organisation.

Many people do not recognise themselves as carers. Anyone can become a carer and we recognise that our carers come from all walks of life and can be any age. The people they care for may:

• be frail;

• be ill;

• have a physical or learning disability;

• have a mental health condition; or

• have issues with substance misuse.

All carers can ask for an assessment. No two caring situations are the same and a carer’s assessment is an opportunity to reflect upon the person’s needs as a carer, access information and advice and identify

support. The carer’s assessment can be carried out by the carer themselves or it may be carried out with support from a worker from Carers Trust (Peterborough) or Adult Social Care.

For more information on carers’ eligibility for services, see page 10. You can find more information on the Caring for Someone pages on the Peterborough Information Network at www.peterborough.gov.uk/pin

The Emergency Support for Carers service Our Emergency Support for Carers service is in place to help carers of adults if an emergency arises. It can

offer peace of mind by providing a service during such unplanned events as:


• a carer being admitted to hospital or having other urgent health needs;

• there being a family emergency (for example, if a close relative is taken ill);

• there being a risk to the carer’s employment on a particular occasion; or

• a carer needing to attend the funeral of a close friend or relative.

The purpose of the service is to arrange temporary short-term replacement care for someone who

is dependent on a carer for providing necessary care. All carers can apply to register, however, to be deemed as providing necessary care, the tasks performed must be those that the adult could not do themselves without support. If a carer is providing care for an adult who is capable of providing for themselves, then they may not be providing necessary care.

Carers can contact the Adult Early Help Team on 01733 747474 to register with the Emergency Support for Carers service.

Carers’ information packs All carers can ask for a copy of the carer’s information pack which contains relevant information and advice for carers. Carers who ask for a carers’ assessment are also automatically sent

the information pack as well as a registration form for the Emergency Support for Carers service. You can request a carers’ information pack by contacting Carers Trust on 01733 645234.

Trading Standards Everyone needs to find a decent trader from time-to-time and, if you can’t find one by recommendation, it can be difficult knowing who you can trust to do a good job. The Trading Standards Approved Trader Scheme, ‘Buy with Confidence’, can help. All members on the scheme have been checked thoroughly by Trading Standards and have demonstrated a commitment to high-quality service.

You can find members of the scheme by:

• calling the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 03454 040506 to be given the three nearest members that best meet your needs;

• looking up members on the scheme’s website www.buywithconfidence.gov.uk or www.safelocaltrades.com ; or

• visiting your local library if you don’t have access to a computer at home, or ask the library staff to look up members for you if you are not confident using a computer.

Although Trading Standards checks each trader thoroughly before approving them, this does not give a price guarantee, so you should still get three quotes to ensure you are being charged a reasonable price.

It’s your home, your life, your care, so trust in the very best, Bluebird Care. More than care.

What does Bluebird Care do?In a nutshell we enable people to have choice and peace of mind. The choice to remain at home, with the peace of mind for an individual to retain their independence and control when, previously, choices would be limited. We help people retain their dignity, to stay in their own home, to remain active in their community, to be released from hospital, to combat loneliness and, in some cases, to die at home.

We look after people who need everything from simply companionship, including company to attend appointments or to get to the supermarket, right through to dementia support, stroke care, personal care, medication support, end of life care and much, much more. We tailor each customer’s care to suit the individual not just providing what they need but also what and how they want it. It is

a totally holistic approach. We pride ourselves in always going above and beyond to make sure every need is met.

Who do you provide support to?People come to us from all sorts of backgrounds, of all ages and at all stages of life. The youngest person we care for at the moment is 22-years-old, the oldest over 100! We can support any adult, from 18-years-old upwards. For many the support is enough to help them to start their day on the right foot, support with getting dressed, etc. For others the care can be more complex often supporting individuals and their families as they face terminal illness.

We take pride in making sure the service we provide is exactly what is required. For some a quiet chat and some companionship makes all the difference while other people need more specialist, complex care.

How does it work?When we get an inquiry we make a thorough, initial assessment to understand what a person is looking for. We want to know what practical support they need but also what is important to them and often what is important to their loved ones and family. We often take care of couples or support one of the couple while allowing the other partner to rest as their main carer. They will be assigned an individual carer or a care team who fully understand what is expected of them and have been through rigorous and continuous training at Bluebird Care. We work with GPs, nurses, occupational therapists and social workers.

If you need help with care or think you might in the future just give us a call on 01733 459 907 or 01780 480 881- we are always willing to help.

It took a while to find Bluebird Care and I can assure you that the service my father has received was far better and more reliable

than other care companies we have used previously. I have no hesitation in recommending Bluebird Care to those who ask us about care arrangements. Mr T Richards, Peterborough, June 2018
