When you pay your weekly care home fees at Yarnley House Care Home, this includes your accommodation, all meals, snacks, and drinks, as well as any activities you participate in, in-house facilities you use, and local excursions (some may incur additional charges where applicable). All care and support are also included within your weekly fees, although some additional medical services, such as dental care or chiropody, may come at an extra cost. We try to accommodate all our residents’ requests, but some may incur additional charges. Please contact the team for more information regarding this.

There are different methods for paying care home fees. If the individual has been assessed as having eligible care needs and limited financial resources, the local authority may cover all or part of their care home fees. The amount of funding will depend on the individual’s means.

If the individual has complex healthcare needs that require full-time nursing care, they may be eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding. This funding covers the full cost of care, including accommodation and personal care. If an individual has sufficient income, savings, or assets, they may be required to pay for their care home fees themselves.

In some cases, family members may choose to contribute towards the cost of care. An individual’s care home fees may be paid for by a combination of sources, such as local authority funding and self-funding.

If your care home fees cost more than what your local council is willing to pay, someone else can make up the difference between that figure and the home’s fee, such as a family member.

In England, care home fees are determined based on an individual’s care requirements and financial circumstances.

Local authorities assess care needs to determine the appropriate level of care and type of care home. They also conduct a financial assessment, considering the person’s income, savings and assets to decide if they need to contribute towards their care costs.

Those with assets and income below a certain threshold may qualify for financial assistance from the local authority to cover care home fees.

Individuals eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare receive full funding for their care from the NHS. Eligibility isn’t tied to a specific diagnosis but hinges on overall care needs and the level of support required to meet them.

For further details, please contact our team.

Upon the resident’s passing, all charges under the Care Agreement will cease immediately. Housing and lodging expenses will be covered for up to ten days following the death, or until the residence undergoes thorough inspection and cleaning.
