Tewkesbury Fields

What it may cost

We estimate Tewkesbury Fields at £1,210–£1,470 a week for residential care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £63k–£76k.

Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.

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