Fees – are payable 4 weeks in advance by cash, cheque or standing order.
We recognises that the issue of funding can be very complicated for many people.
A contribution towards incontinence costs where appropriate, is made by the CCG to the Home which forms part of the fee. This is retained by the Home in all cases to cover part of the higher costs incurred in providing standard incontinence products. If a non-standard incontinence product is selected by residents or relatives, the Home reserves the right to discuss additional payments.
If a resident has chosen to stay at the nursing home without the benefit of a nursing assessment the gross fee payable by them will be the personal and hotel costs plus the registered nursing care contribution and any incontinence costs.
If a resident has been assessed as requiring Continuing Healthcare funding, the whole fee will be paid by the relevant Clinical Commissioning Group. These are individual tailored care packages and fees vary depending on the care needs of the individual resident. This excludes any extras such as toiletries which are listed on the Additional Charges List.
Registration – The Home is registered by the Care Quality Commission as a nursing home providing care for the following categories:
Accommadation for persons requiring nursing care
