How to Choose a Frail Care Facility in North West
Staff-to-resident ratio
Ask how many nursing staff are on duty per shift and the ratio of carers to residents. A good ratio is 1 carer to 6–8 residents during the day. At night, there should still be qualified nursing staff on duty, not just a security guard.
Medical oversight
Check how often a doctor visits. Some facilities have a visiting GP weekly; others only on call. Ask whether there's a registered nurse on duty 24/7 or only during business hours. For frail care, 24-hour nursing is essential.
Cleanliness and dignity
Visit unannounced if possible. Check the smell, cleanliness of bathrooms, and general upkeep. Look at residents: are they clean, dressed, and engaged? The physical environment tells you a lot about the quality of care.
Medical aid coverage
Some medical aids cover frail care partially, typically as an 'extended' or 'chronic' benefit. Get a detailed quote from the facility and compare it with your medical aid schedule of benefits before committing.
