Understanding the different care home charges.
Broadly, the charges for staying in a care home are divided into three different elements:
- Nursing care - care provided by a Qualified Nurse
- Personal care - care provided by a carer (such as help with dressing, eating, bathing, mobility etc.)
- Accommodation - this includes food, heating and living costs.
The staff are great team players.
