Our cost guide has more detail.

Will I get help from Suffolk council with the cost of a care home?

Possibly. The Care Act 2014 means Suffolk council has to assess care needs without charge. For a care home, the means test usually includes your home's value, unless your partner, or certain other relatives, still live in it, and never in the first 12 weeks of a permanent stay. The capital limit above which you pay in full is £23,250 in England, and NHS-funded nursing care can meet some nursing costs. Contacting Suffolk council.

How should I compare care homes in Woodbridge?

Start with the latest CQC report and its date: none of the 3 listed here were inspected or rated in the last two years, while 3 have older reports. Then ask about continuity of staff, how they handle missed care, and the full price before you sign. Our checklist.
