It is usual for residents in care homes to contribute to the cost of their own care. Some people have the resources to pay for this in full, whilst others make means-tested contributions.
Our weekly fees are individual to each of our residents and are subject to a pre-admission assessment, which is required to understand the level of care and support needed. Our 2025 weekly care fees for residential care start from £1375 and for nursing care £1664, but may be in the region of 30% more*. This depends on your care needs and the type of bedroom that is right for you, from our standard rooms through to our premium bedroom options.
*If you require more specialist care such as 1-2-1 support, your weekly fee could be higher.
These prices are only a guideline, please contact Riverlee Residential and Nursing Home to find out the exact price for your requirements.
If you chose a care home based in England, you may be eligible for NHS Funded Nursing Care (FNC), which helps cover the cost of nursing. This is worth £254.06 per week and is usually paid directly to the care home.

Thank you for your review. We set a high standard for ourselves, and we’re sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience - our team have recently shampooed the room's carpet and disposed of the previously soiled mattress. Our home manager Cecilia will have been in touch to discuss your relatives' needs, and tailoring the room furnishings to meet these. Cecilia's door is always open for you if you do have any questions or concerns. Best wishes, Fae.

My aunt has been a resident at Riverlee for over two years, and it is an absolute pleasure to visit her there. She loves joining in with everything that is going on, and it is reassuring for me to know that she is safe, well looked after and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Riverlee to anyone for their loved ones.
Thank you for taking the time to review. I am so pleased your Mum is happy and settled, and the staff are going the extra mile to care for your Mum but to also give you peace of mind. Best wishes, Sophie Middleton
We will never forget how wonderful you have all been and I know that my Mum was always so happy in your care, your home, even up until her final moments.
Your care for her in her final week and the management of her passing away was managed with such dignity and we thank you all so much. It was so fitting to hold the wake in the lounge at the home - her home - and on that day everyone was so helpful, you really were her family.
The sadness of losing Mum is buffered by the fact that she had such a wonderful stay at Riverlee.
