Your Funding Options
We accept residents who are self-funding and also state-funded (e.g. local authority funded residents and NHS funded residents) provided the full cost of the placement is met. We recommend you read our Frequently Asked Questions and Terms and Conditions.
Weekly fees
Residential care: from £1300 per week
Nursing care: from £1400 plus FNC per week
These fees are for guidance only and are subject to an individual care needs pre-admission assessment to fully understand the level of care and support required. Placements are costed in accordance with the needs of the resident, rather than type of bedroom.
Where the NHS is providing a Funded Nursing Care Contribution this is not included in the prices above.
What’s included
The following items and services are included in and covered by your weekly fees:
Please note, the weekly fee does not include hairdressing, chiropody, toiletries other than basic soap and shampoo, personal newspapers or magazines, any telephone set up desired or related charges, any over the counter medications that a GP wouldn’t normally prescribe such as paracetamol and remedies for indigestion relief, and any other privately arranged healthcare.
Further, we would usually expect a resident’s family to accompany a resident on outings or visits (e.g. appointments or hospital), but should accompaniment be organised by us, there we will be an hourly accompaniment fee.
Costs of additional services
Haircut: From £10
Haircut and tint: From £40
Chiropody: £21
Hand and foot care: £26
Carer accompaniment: £22.60 per hour
Personal copies of newspapers: Cost dependent on newspaper requested and ease of sourcing
We will require a float to pay for the above services or products in advance of receipt of the service or product.
Where you require another service or product, please let us know so we can discuss whether it will be possible for us to source it and, where we agree to source it, any associated fee. Whilst we will endeavour to help where possible we will not be obliged to make available any product or service not referred to in the contract.
Services currently provided free of charge to you by the UK National Health Service or by any other party (for which we will not make any charge whilst they remain free of charge):
Availability of these additional services and products is outside our control and subject to your entitlement and the availability of the relevant providers.
Important financial information before admission
Evidence of funds
If you are self-funding, for long-term placements, we will ask you to provide evidence of your ability to pay at least two years’ worth of fees. If you do not have sufficient funds for two years, you must inform us as soon as possible and in any event before agreeing to the placement, so we can discuss your options including the process and timeline for any application for local authority funding that may be required.
If you will receive funding support, the funding authority will need to approve all placements before they can start. A placement cannot be confirmed until written confirmation of full funding is received.
Payment of fees
Long-term placements:
For long-term placements, the first payment equivalent to 4 weeks is paid before the admission. This payment will be four weeks of the following (where applicable to you):
We will also require the float payment for additional services before admission can occur.
Short-term placements:
Usually respite periods are up to a maximum of four weeks and the full cost of the placement is paid before the admission, including any float payment.
If after admission you would like the placement to be extended, the manager will let you know if this is possible. If the placement is extended, the full cost of the first four weeks of any extension (or the full cost of the entire extension if the extension is less than four weeks) must be cleared in our account before the extension can be agreed.
Should you wish to have a longer respite period from the outset, say of 10 weeks, this may be able to be arranged upon discussion with the manager. The first payment equivalent to 4 weeks is paid before the admission can occur; thereafter payment of fees will be 4 weekly and payments will be due in advance at least 3 days before the next 4 week period begins.
