What a place with Abbey Healthcare is likely to cost

Operators do not publish a single national price, and neither will we invent one. What each of these homes charges a self-funding family depends on the home, the room and the level of care.

What you can compare it against is what the local council pays. Where we have a council’s published rate it appears on each home’s page, and across England those rates run from £768 to £1,182 a week for a standard residential place. See what councils pay, and ask the home directly for its own figure.

Ask two things: what the weekly fee is for a self-funder, and whether the home will keep a resident at the council rate if savings later fall below £23,250. Get the second answer in writing.
