Budgeting for this home
We estimate The Meadow at £1,570–£1,920 a week for residential care (dementia), based on published prices in the region (MHA homes publish prices a little above their area average). Over a year that is roughly £82k–£100k.
Check what the weekly fee leaves out; hairdressing, chiropody, trips and newspapers are common extras.
If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Haringey Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
