These are the points worth confirming on the call or visit before treating any home as a final choice.
Willowbrook Care Centre: Availability is not confirmed
The report cannot confirm whether this home currently has a suitable vacancy.
high
Call before planning a visit and ask whether the vacancy suits the resident’s care needs and funding route.
Greenfield House: Availability is not confirmed
The report cannot confirm whether this home currently has a suitable vacancy.
high
Call before planning a visit and ask whether the vacancy suits the resident’s care needs and funding route.
Greenfield House: Healthcare proximity needs checking
GP, pharmacy, or hospital distance data is not complete enough to rely on as a decision point.
medium
Confirm GP registration options, pharmacy arrangements, and hospital access during the call or visit.
Funding Options
Where support may reduce the fee
Start with the quoted weekly fee in your shortlist, then use these routes in order to see whether the amount you pay could come down.
Support worth exploring
Estimated£20,000–£40,000/year
Based on the care needs you described, not a formal clinical or financial assessment
Use this section in order
Start with the fee shown in the report, compare it with your budget and local benchmark, then work through these routes before deciding whether the remaining gap needs a fee conversation.
1. Quoted fee
Use the weekly fee in the shortlist as your starting point.
2. Benchmark check
See whether the fee looks close to, above, or below the local rate.
3. Support routes
Check council funding first, then DPA, then NHS CHC screening.
4. If a gap remains
Use the fee questions later in the report before you accept the price.
LA Funding
£15K-25K/year

DPA
Less suitable
Property value £280K - DPA not optimal for your situation
NHS CHC
