The registered provider

The Star Nursing Home is run by Star Residential Home Ltd (company 05649028), incorporated in 2005, 5 years before this service registered with CQC.

Its registered business activity is residential care for older and disabled people.

Likely fees

We estimate The Star Nursing Home at £1,520–£1,850 a week for nursing care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £79k–£96k.

Where a resident needs nursing, the NHS pays part of the fee straight to the home as NHS-funded nursing care, regardless of who pays the rest.

With savings below £23,250, Peterborough Council may contribute once it has carried out a free needs assessment.
