The Care Agreement you sign while moving into Floryn House Care Home will be terminated, and all fees associated with it will be terminated as well. The costs of accommodation will be covered for up to ten days after the death, or until the residence has been thoroughly cleaned of any personal effects.

When you pay your weekly care home fees at Floryn House Care Home, this includes your accommodation, all meals, snacks and drinks, as well as any activities you participate in, in-house facilities you use, and local excursions (some may incur additional charges where applicable). All care and support are also included within your weekly fees, although some additional medical services, such as dental care or chiropody, may come at an extra cost. Please contact the team for more information regarding this.
There are different methods for paying care home fees. If the individual has been assessed as having eligible care needs and limited financial resources, the local authority may cover all or part of their care home fees. The amount of funding will depend on the individual’s means.
If the individual has complex healthcare needs that require full-time nursing care, they may be eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding. This funding covers the full cost of care, including accommodation and personal care. If an individual has sufficient income, savings, or assets, they may be required to pay for their care home fees themselves.
In some cases, family members may choose to contribute towards the cost of care. An individual’s care home fees may be paid for by a combination of sources, such as local authority funding and self-funding.
If someone is having financial difficulties, we want to be able to help you in any way we can, whether that’s looking at different finance options or relocating you to a smaller suite inside the home. Speak to our team about how we can support you.
If your care home fees cost more than what your local council is willing to pay, someone else can make up the difference between that figure and the home’s fee, such as a family member.
In England, care home fees are assessed based on the individual’s care needs and financial situation.
The assessment of care needs is carried out by the local authority, which will determine the level of care required and the type of care home that is appropriate. The financial assessment is also carried out by the local authority or by an independent financial advisor. It will take into account the individual’s income, savings, and assets to determine whether they need to contribute towards the cost of their care.
If the individual’s assets and income are below a certain level, they may be entitled to financial support from the local authority to help pay for their care home fees.
If an individual is deemed eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare, their care will be fully funded by the NHS. It’s important to note that eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare is not based on a specific diagnosis or condition, but based on an individual’s overall care needs and the level of support required to meet those needs.
