What it may cost
We estimate Whyke Lodge at £1,460–£1,780 a week for residential care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £76k–£93k.
Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.
With savings below £23,250, West Sussex Council may contribute once it has carried out a free needs assessment.
Ownership and company checks
Whyke Lodge is the only service its provider, Mrs Nadia Walsh, runs, so it is an independent, single-site operator rather than part of a chain.
