Budgeting for this home

We estimate Hillview Care Home at £1,350–£1,650 a week for residential care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £70k–£86k.

Get the extras in writing: items such as hairdressing and outings are usually charged on top.

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.
