Proof of funding
If you require nursing care and are paying yourself, the home will need to see written evidence of two years’ proof of funding, such as bank statements or share certificates before you move in, or three years for residential care. The home manager can discuss this with you in more detail.
If you are eligible for financial help from your local authority their support may not cover the full cost of your care home fees. In that case, it might be possible for you to use your own money to add to the local authority’s contribution, so that you can move into the home of your choice.
Paying your own care home fees
If you are self funding and become a permanent resident (which means staying in our home for more than one month), your fees will need to be paid monthly in advance by standing order or direct debit.
Short-term fees
If you are staying at the home for less than one month as a short-term resident on a respite or emergency, unplanned basis, (for example if you are ill), your fees need to be paid in full, in advance, either by direct transfer of funds or via a debit card. If you are a short-term resident and wish to stay on permanently, you will need to be able to meet our long-term requirements and provide the appropriate proof of funding. For full details, please ask for a copy of our Terms and Conditions or speak to the Home Manager.
