Common questions about Gloucester care homes
How much does a care home cost per month in Gloucester?
Care home fees in Gloucester vary by the type of care and the home. Self-funded residential care commonly costs from around £3,500 to £5,500 a month, while nursing and specialist dementia care are typically higher. The exact fee depends on the home, the room and the level of care, and is not recorded by the CQC, so always confirm the current monthly fee directly with each Gloucester home.
Will the NHS or local authority pay for a care home in Gloucester?
It depends on the person's needs and finances. Gloucestershire's local authority may fund or contribute to a place if savings fall below the means-test threshold. The NHS pays the nursing element of a nursing home through NHS-funded nursing care, and may fund the full placement through NHS Continuing Healthcare where health needs are high.
