Likely fees

We estimate Oliver House at £1,130–£1,380 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £59k–£72k.

Ask how often fees rise and whether they go up if care needs increase.

If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Lincolnshire Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
