Laing-Buisson, a healthcare consultancy, has launched a survey of nursing costs on behalf of the National Health Service. As many readers will know, nursing homes receive a Funded Nursing Care (FNC) payment of £156 per week for residents that qualify as having nursing needs.

Bromson Hill Nursing Home, based near Warwick in the beautiful countryside, primarily hosts nursing residents although we do provide residential and respite care as well. We are registered for 34 occupants meaning we are - mid-sized Home and hence do not have the scale efficiencies available to large homes. Also we are part of a small family owned group of care homes. Hence, we do not have access to the resources available to Homes that are part of large group companies.

The survey requested information from us on our nursing costs as well as the cost of our Manager. However, it did not request information on whether we have more care staff than we would if we were a residential care home or other nursing related costs (eg syringes and medicinal equipment and specialist beds etc).

We therefore consider the methodology flawed and likely to significantly underestimate nursing costs. The FNC is a significant part of our income and this underestimate in true costs is likely to have a material impact. We would also encourage the NHS to peg increases in the FNC to at least increases in the National Living Wage.

Our Fees: Information and Support

Here at Bromson Hill we understand the difficulties of searching for a care home that fits for you. Finances can be one important aspect in finding a perfect care home. We put our residents needs first in terms of supporting and giving guidance in this area, whether it's you searching for a care home or you are searching for a loved one. We have provided the information to see if you are entitled for funding from your local authority below. In our FAQ, we also address questions you may have concerning this subject. If you have any more questions, please contact us via email or phone call at the address provided below. We would love to answer any questions and find ways to support you if Bromson Hill is the right fit for you! 

 

Our fee rate starts from £1150 per room. In the event you are wholly or partially funded by social workers, please email or call the Home for more information. The Home retains the Funded Nursing Care to pay for our nursing costs and this is made clear in our contracts.


We aim to keep our charges in line with other similar homes. Depending upon your ability to pay, your local authority may pay some of the costs towards your care. Your local authority will assess your income including your pension and benefits as well as any savings you may have and possibly your home if nobody else lives with you. The value of your home will not be counted towards this until 12 weeks after your admission to permanent nursing or residential care.
You may also be entitled to other benefits, which include Attendance Allowance and Pension Credit. For more information, please contact the Benefit Enquiry Line on 0800 88 22 00 or speak to your GP, nurse or indeed feel free to call us for more information.
