Cost of Care Homes

At Field House, you are not just selecting a care home; you are choosing a community that is deeply invested in the quality of life and well-being of your loved ones. We welcome you to visit us and experience the difference.

Our fees depend on the choice of room and the care needs of the resident, so usually, fees are different for most residents. However, the following can be used as a basic guideline:

  1. A room without an en-suite and for a resident with good mobility will cost around £950 a week
  2. For a similar room but where the resident requires a higher level of care due to mobility or cognitive constraints, fees may be higher
  3. A bedroom with an en-suite / wetroom for a resident with good mobility may be £50 to £100 higher per week

For a large-sized en-suite / wetroom, fees start from £1,100 per week and will again vary depending on a resident’s specific care needs. When you visit Field House, we will have an open discussion with you about fees and will try and show (subject to availability) a variety of rooms.

 

Fees Comparison

At Field House, we understand that choosing a care home for your loved ones involves various considerations, including the financial aspect. We believe in transparent and fair pricing, which reflects the quality of care and amenities we provide. Thus, we want to offer some context on our fee positioning.

While our care home is not a new purpose-built facility, we are pleased to offer amenities and services that are comparable with newly built homes and, in many aspects, even superior. Our residents enjoy the advantage of staying in a homely environment that is further enhanced by the serene beauty of our 10 acres of gardens and grounds. This is an incomparable benefit, giving them space to breathe, relax, and engage with nature.

Technology is an integral part of our care model. We are committed to leveraging advanced technology to improve the safety and quality of life for our residents and to provide families with the ability to be fully informed, literally minute by minute, of their loved one’s health and well-being Our technological systems surpass those in many other care homes, ensuring that our residents have access to the latest in safety, communication, and entertainment options.

While our fees are competitively priced, it’s important to note that we are not the least expensive option in the market. This is intentional. Our pricing reflects our steadfast commitment to maintaining higher staffing ratios than many care homes. We understand that a caring,  attentive and extremely well-trained staff team is fundamental to the well-being and happiness of our residents. A higher staff-to-resident ratio ensures that each resident receives personalised attention and care.

Furthermore, we allocate significant resources to support the various facets of resident well-being, including physical, emotional, and social needs. This involves organising a range of activities and events that help our residents remain engaged, active, and socially connected.

We encourage you to visit our Facebook pages to witness first-hand the vibrant community we have nurtured and the high standard of care we provide.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us for any additional information on our fees or services.

At Field House Care Home, we offer an enriching, family-focused environment. Unlike large organisations, our focus is on our residents and not just finances. Our commitment to continual improvement and top-notch care ensures that residents enjoy a quality of life that reflects the cost of care homes. With high bandwidth Wi-Fi, residents can enjoy modern amenities like streaming TV and using tablets.

Our proactive approach to care, backed by a wide array of digital systems, ensures optimal safety and well-being. Whether it’s self-funding residential care home fees or local authority-supported dementia care home funding, we strive to provide value by offering systems like real-time care provision updates, electronic medication management, and hour-by-hour well-being monitoring.

The cost of care homes like ours covers many elements. At Field House, we are open and transparent about our finances, and as far as possible, we ensure our care home fees include all aspects of accommodation and care, including the following:

Accommodation:

  • All furniture (although residents can bring their own)
  • Bedding and towels
  • Heat, light and power
  • Cleaning of resident’s room and communal areas
  • Washing of clothes and bedding (excluding dry cleaning)
  • Maintenance of gardens and property content
  • Care:
  • All personal care
  • Administration of medications
  • All drinks and food including snacks – for example, if a resident would like wine with a meal, then this can be provided 
  • Administration including the preparation, reviewing and updating of resident’s records including their care plan and liaison with healthcare and Social Services professionals
  • All in-house activities including visiting entertainers

Whilst we aim to include as much as possible within our care home fees, some items and services vary according to a resident’s preferences and are charged separately. These items and services include:

  • Hairdressing, chiropody, optician, beauticians
  • Magazines and newspapers
  • Personal toiletries and items such as cigarettes
  • Clothing
  • Dry cleaning
  • Some external visits and trips
  • For privately funded residents, some specialist items of furniture or other specialist equipment (when possible, we will get these on loan from a Local Authority)

Our care home fees, including dementia care home fees, are calculated based on two factors: accommodation costs and the cost of care.

Accommodation costs

These costs relate to the size and location of a room (for example, ground floor, upstairs) and the facilities within the room (for example, en-suite, wet room, etc.). One of the unique things about Field House is that we have a wide variety of rooms including:

  • Single rooms with a washbasin, but without an en-suite
  • Single rooms with an en-suite, washbasin and toilet
  • Rooms with a large bathroom or private wet room
  • Large-sized rooms ideal for married couples and/or being furnished as a bed-sitting room

All rooms are decorated and furnished to the same high standard, however, it is worth noting that room sizes may vary, therefore limiting the furnishings in some cases.

Cost of care

These costs pertain to the specific personal needs and wishes of each individual resident. For instance, a resident with poor mobility, or who is bedbound, will require more care than a person who is independently mobile. We can generally meet the need for one-to-one care, and we will cost that element separately.

Fees are levied and paid on a monthly basis and in advance (preferably by standing order). Upon admission, we request that fees be paid up to the end of the month of admission, and if admission is after the 15th of the month, we request that the fees for the next calendar month are paid at the same time. Any additional charges (including those fees not included in care home fees as stated) will be invoiced monthly in arrears.
