It sits in Easton ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICB.

Within about a 10-minute walk there is a GP surgery (10 min), a pharmacy (5 min), a shop (5 min), a park (4 min), a café (5 min), a bus stop (1 min) and a railway station (8 min), which matters for residents who can go out and for visiting family.

Budgeting for this home

We estimate Orchard Grove Reablement Centre at £1,520–£1,860 a week for nursing care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £79k–£97k.

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.

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