What it may cost
We estimate St Georges Court Care 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.
For residents assessed as needing nursing, a weekly NHS contribution goes straight to the home towards the fee, whoever pays the rest.
If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Cambridgeshire Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
Key points from CQC's visit
- The provider was previously in breach of the legal requirements in relation to keeping people safe, quality monitoring systems, staff skills and knowledge, providing person centred care, manging medicines safely and learning lessons from accidents and incidents.
- People were involved in assessments of their needs.
- Staff reviewed assessments taking account of people’s communication, personal and health needs.
- One person said, “I know it’s not my home but its right place for me, while I still feel longsome for my old place I feel much better supported here and, in that view, I feel safe.” People told us staff treated them with dignity and respect and offered them choices.
