How will my care be funded?
There are three main types of care funding, NHS, Local Authority, and Private. Most of our residents are privately funded, and new residents will be asked to provide proof that they can support 2 years’ worth of funding. Our experienced Managers will be able to advise you about the options which may be available. but it is advisable to seek independent financial advice to explore any potential funding opportunities.
