*Any financial contribution by the NHS for nursing care is paid directly to the care home and not included in these indicative prices.
For those receiving funding from their Local Authority or NHS Trust, an additional top-up contribution may need to be paid to contribute towards the difference between that paid by the Local Authority and the care home fee. A top-up fee is usually paid by another person, usually a relative or significant person in your life.

If you are paying for your own care, your fees will be reviewed annually in line with inflation, local market circumstances and/or changes in statutory or regulatory minimum wage system or if there are significant increases to the cost of providing care homes services as a result of changing regulatory rules or the law. Further details can be found within our Terms and Conditions which are published on our website. Your fees may also change where your care package or funding changes or you request a move into a different room.

Insuring your valuables
If you wish to bring personal belongings or valuables into our Home you really should consider arranging your own insurance cover.

It’s important to remember that large parts of the home are communal areas and accessible to other residents and their visitors.
If you are unsure whether to bring particular items with you to the home, please speak with the Home Manager who will be able to confirm the security arrangements at the Home and the steps both you and we can take to keep your possessions safe.

An estimated 850,000 people were living with dementia in the UK in 2015 and this figure is estimated to rise to over one million in 2021 and over two million by 2051. These increases are happening as people are living longer. The risk of developing dementia increases with age, but dementia is not an inevitable part of ageing.
Approximately one third of people in the UK living with dementia live in care homes and make up around 70% of the population of those homes. Care homes are where older people are likely to live with more advanced stages of dementia, when their needs for care and support may have reached a level which exceeds those which can realistically be met in their own homes. Furthermore, the majority of people living with dementia reach the end of their lives in care homes in the UK. The National Dementia Strategy was launched by the Department of Health and Social Care in 2009 with three key objectives: improved awareness, earlier diagnosis and intervention, and a higher quality of care.
Did you know:
There are around 2,800 people living with a diagnosis of dementia in our care homes – about 37% of our residents Many more of our residents will have mild cognitive impairments, indicating possible early signs of dementia which has not yet been formally diagnosed Every year, we recognise and support the national Dementia Action Week, which aims to raise awareness of the challenges faced by people living with dementia and their carers
Our approach is to focus on the things that the resident living with dementia can do and that bring them happiness, rather than things they can no longer do
