There are several ways to fund care at Bluebell View Care Home, depending on an individual’s care needs, financial circumstances and eligibility for support.

If someone meets their local authority’s eligibility criteria, they may receive financial assistance towards their care fees. The level of support provided will depend on their financial assessment and individual circumstances.

Those with sufficient income, savings or assets may be required to fund their care privately. Alternatively, family members may choose to contribute towards the cost. In some circumstances, care fees may be covered through a combination of private payments and local authority funding.

As funding arrangements can vary, we recommend contacting the relevant local authority or NHS team to discuss eligibility and the options available.

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.

Fees will be reviewed annually, and any changes will be advised at least 4 weeks in advance of any change taking effect. The current fee uplift is effective in April each year. For further information please contact us.

In the event of a resident’s passing, we will guide families through the arrangements with care and understanding. Accommodation fees will continue for up to three days following the resident’s death, or until the room has been cleared and cleaned. Any further charges will be handled in accordance with the terms of the Care Agreement.
