Funding & Fees

Contact Chelston Park & Chelston Gardens to confirm what's included and get a personalised quote:

Our fees depend on the care package in line with your needs and the type of accommodation required. Fees are usually reviewed annually in April. Any increase in the fee results from inflation, the provision of additional care and services, or as a result of factors beyond our control. These include regulatory and general economic changes affecting the care sector. Fees may be reviewed more frequently in response to these factors.

If you do not meet the criteria for NHS CHC, but require nursing care, the NHS pays a contribution towards the cost of the nursing care. This is called NHS-funded nursing care (FNC). The FNC is paid directly to the home by the government and will be added to the fee we agree with the resident.
