What nursing care involves

A nursing home has a registered nurse on duty 24 hours a day, for people with medical needs such as wounds, catheters, diabetes, or conditions that need clinical monitoring. If someone in a nursing home needs care from a registered nurse, the NHS pays a weekly contribution (NHS-funded nursing care) directly to the home.

What to ask about nursing care

  1. How quickly can a GP or the community team visit?
  2. What happens if someone needs to go into hospital?
  3. Which specialist nurses or therapists visit?
  4. Do you help residents get assessed for NHS-funded nursing care?
  5. How do you manage pressure sores, catheters and diabetes?

Average fees paid by self-funders in South East in 2026: residential care home £1,555 a week; nursing home £1,830 a week. These are averages over a wide spread of prices, which move with the type of room, how much help is needed and any nursing. Councils tend to pay less than private payers for an identical room.

Will East Sussex council pay for a care home?

For residents who qualify, the NHS pays towards nursing through NHS-funded nursing care, and the council may help with fees. Under the Care Act 2014, East Sussex council has to offer a needs assessment at no cost. For the means test, a home is usually counted for care home fees unless it is still home to a partner or certain relatives (and not in the first 12 weeks of a permanent stay); in England the threshold is £23,250. How to reach East Sussex council.
