Care home fees in Bath depend on the type of care and how the place is funded. As a guide, self-funded residential care in South West England typically runs to several hundred pounds a week, with nursing and specialist dementia care costing more. If the person needing care has limited savings, the local authority in Somerset may contribute, and the NHS funds the healthcare element of nursing care through NHS-funded nursing care or, for the highest needs, NHS Continuing Healthcare. Fees are not held in the CQC record, so confirm the current weekly fee directly with each Bath home.

Common questions about Bath care homes
