Financial Info

Benefits

Most people entering a nursing home will qualify for the state pension. Additionally, most
people will also qualify for Attendance Allowance (A.A.), a non means tested benefit,
currently paid at a rate of up to £64.50 per week. Please ask for details. 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.

Additionally, everyone paying their own fees is entitled to be assessed for the element of their
“nursing care” to be funded under the provisions of the NHS Funded Registered Nursing Care
(FRNC). Essentially this means a further non means tested award of FRNC will be made to you
amounting to either LOW £40.00, MED £87.00 or HIGH £139.00 per week, depending
on your assessed level of registered nurse need. We will automatically deal with your claim.

For those people who might qualify for assistance with funding, we are one of the few homes in Wirral to qualify for Wirral Social Services 3* status.

Fees

Our fees are quoted per week, charged calendar monthly in advance and are based on a 365 day year. Fees are normally paid by standing order. You will receive full details together with our Terms & Conditions before you arrive. Fees include accommodation, full board, laundry and nursing care. The only additional chargeable items would be newspapers, hairdressing, dry cleaning, private healthcare and the provision of any equipment not available / provided for by NHS or other relevant body.

We will be happy to supply our current Terms on request.

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.

If we can be of any further assistance or offer any advice with regard to any issue including Attendance Allowance (A.A.) or NHS Funded Registered Nursing Care (FRNC), please do not hesitate to contact us. Alternatively you could check our Summary & Links page.
