Budgeting for this home
We estimate Nightingale Nursing Home at £1,660–£2,030 a week for nursing care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £86k–£106k.
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.
Council help is possible below £23,250 in savings: ask West Sussex Council for a free care needs assessment.

Key points from CQC's visit
- Instead, our findings focus on any areas where the service needs to improve or where we found exceptional practice. At the time of this assessment the service was without a registered manager.
- The service was being managed by a newly appointed manager who was in the process of becoming registered with the Commission. People can only be deprived of their liberty to receive care and treatment with appropriate legal authority.
- In care homes, this can be done through a procedure called the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), which is part of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA).
- When asked if they were able to make choices, one person told us, “I can do what I like as long as I tell them.
