Types of Care
A Home from Home
Registered Nursing And Residential Care
Every aspect of the new Broughton House Veteran Care Village has been designed with our resident’s well-being in mind.
We have built an environment focussed around person centred care; maximising independence, providing real choice and ensuring our residents have a voice.
Respite Care
Broughton House has a vast amount of experience in successfully providing and managing respite and short breaks for individuals. We fully understand the strain and difficulties faced when providing care.
Our respite opportunities offer families a safe environment for their loved ones to enjoy whilst they recharge their batteries and take a much needed break.
Our Fees
Broughton House aims to provide the highest quality of care for residents and strives to keep fees at an affordable level. They are benchmarked within the local area. Our weekly fee rates are set according to the type of care required.
Taken together these fees do not cover the full cost to the Charity of providing our professional care. The Charity provides a significant subsidy for all residents.
We accept both self-funded and state-funded residents
Our fees are:
Funded Nursing Contribution (FNC)
Following admission to the Home, the Charity will contact the National Health Service (NHS) and ask them to carry out an assessment of the resident for the purposes of FNC. The FNC is a contribution towards the cost of the resident’s nursing care which the NHS can award if the resident meets the NHS’s eligibility criteria. The NHS will notify the resident whether FNC has been awarded.
If the NHS awards FNC, the NHS will make payments to the Charity. These payments are currently £183.92 per week. The Charity will set the receipt of FNC payments against amounts which are invoiced to the resident in respect of their care.
If the NHS does not award FNC following an assessment, then the resident or their family may liaise with the Home Manager to request a further FNC assessment by the NHS if the resident’s nursing care needs change.
Sources of funding
For an application to progress, funding arrangements must be in place and for applicants seeking permanent residence, there are three possible funding sources:
Self funding
An applicant with assets in excess of the threshold set by Government (currently £23,250) will be regarded as self-funding. The Charity includes the applicant’s share of any property when applying this threshold .
Social services funding
An applicant may be eligible for Social Services funding if the value of their assets are below the figure set by the Government (currently £23,250). In this case the applicant will need to apply to their local Social Services Department for an assessment of needs. The Charity is prepared to enter into negotiations with Social Services Departments in order to attempt to agree an appropriate level of funding.
NHS Continuing Care Funding
Some residents with significant nursing care needs may qualify for 100 per cent NHS funding. If you would like to discuss how to apply for NHS Continuing Care Funding, please contact one of our Homes.
