Who runs dementia care homes?
- 7NHS
- 6,804Independent
- 447Charity / not-for-profit
- 129Council-run
Taken from the CQC register: “NHS” means run by an NHS body or providing NHS primary care; “Independent” is the CQC’s word for a provider that is not an NHS body – a company, partnership or individual. It says who runs the service, not who pays: many independent providers deliver NHS- or council-funded care. Charities and community interest companies are shown separately, where the register or the provider’s name says so. Use the All · NHS · Private switch at the top of any directory page to browse one kind only.
Paying for a care home
- Council-funded
- Your council may pay some or all of the fees after a care needs assessment and a financial assessment (means test). Not every home accepts the council’s rate, and some ask for a top-up paid by a relative.
- Self-funded
- In England you usually pay for your own care if you have savings and assets worth more than £23,250. Below that, the council may help.
- NHS continuing healthcare
- If your main need is a health need, the NHS can pay for the full cost of your care. It depends on an assessment, not on your savings.
- NHS-funded nursing care
- In a nursing home, the NHS pays a contribution towards care given by a registered nurse, whoever is paying the rest.
The CQC register does not record which types of funding each provider accepts, so always ask the provider – and get the answer in writing before you commit.
