Benefits

In addition to the state pension, most people will also qualify for Attendance Allowance, a non means tested benefit, currently paid at a rate of up to £70.35 per week. We will be more than happy to request a claim form and handle your claim from start to finish or submit a review if you are already in receipt of the lower rate.

Everyone is also entitled to be assessed for the element of their “nursing care” to be funded under the provisions of the NHS Funded Nursing Care (FNC). Essentially this means a further non means tested award could be made to you amounting to £106.30 per wk, assuming you are deemed to require “nursing care".

If however, your needs are greater and your care is more complicated then you may qualify for Continuing Health Care (CHC). This is an additional benefit that is payable by Wirral Primary Care Trust and can amount to as much as 75-85% of our fees.

Further information regarding Funded Nursing Care and Continuing Health Care can be found at: http://www.wirral.gov.uk/LGCL/100010/200048/CONTINUING_HEALTHCARE.pdf
Once again, we will automatically deal with your application and claim from start to finish.

The cost of rooms may vary depending on their size, aspect and views, whether they are ground or first floor and whether they enjoy full or partial en-suite or have private facilities. However, the standard of care and cleanliness remains the same throughout the home and we are more than happy to offer anyone first refusal in choosing another room when available.
