Just out of interest, what are your elderly parents care home fees?

[Tolkienista]

My mother moved into a care home in August 2024, the cost per week (as a self funder £945) Last April the fees went up to (£1,010) per week. In the last week the fees have gone up to (£1,050) per week. It's an excellent place, her room is lovely and well furnished, great carers too who look after her so well.
It genuinely feels like our second home.

In all honesty , never thought we'd make it to this latest fees increase. She's been on end of life care for the last 6/7 weeks , but has remained stable, although she's really frail and weak.
And so we've entered this new round of fees.

I think we're very lucky that her fees are in this region close to £1,000 per week .
How are others faring?

Of course they are it's a private business and we did need them.

£1,075 pw, residential home. Cannot fault it.

ETA: meant to add, North West.

@Netcurtainnelly I was responding to this. If you take even a quick look at the info on the link, which is pretty easy reading, you'll see there is more to it than private business making money.

A nurse from my mum's care home rang me to tell me about applying for CHC. You really need to look into this. Good luck.

@LoafofSellotape thank you for your reply. We did apply for CHC and we were successful.....it ran from April 27th for the remainder of my mother's life.
She died on June 30th .
I'm just sitting here thinking of how much i miss her voice and her presence.
The end of her life was peaceful and serene, she simply slipped away from the world.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope the fact she had a peaceful ending is a small comfort to you x 💐
