What it may cost
We estimate Broxbourne 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.
If nursing care is needed, the NHS pays a weekly NHS-funded nursing care contribution directly to the home, whoever pays the rest.
If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Hertfordshire Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
