As with hotels, the cost of living in a care home varies widely according to its location, the size of your room or suite, and the facilities on offer. There is often a substantial difference between fees charged to those who can afford the costs themselves and those who receive help from their Local Authority. A majority of homes aim to cater for both, but some target only one or the other. Generally the whole complex will be designed with attention to accessibility for residents with restricted mobility. Buying a ‘home for life plan’, or ‘lifetime lease’, gives you the right to live in a property until you die or move to a care home.

The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. It monitors and inspects services, to make sure they are safe, effective and provide high-quality care. We reviewed information we had received about the service since the last inspection. We used the information the provider sent us in the provider information return . This is information providers are required to send us annually with key information about their service, what they do well, and improvements they plan to make.
Information regarding specific health conditions were not person specific, we raised this with the registered manager and they immediately sought to rectify it. Staff knew people well and they encouraged people to live good lives. Improvements had been made to personalised care since our last inspection. However, we have made a recommendation about activities and social engagement within the home, as improvements had not been embedded. This included eight people's care records and eight medication records.
