Costs
The Board Rate, which is set annually and reflects the operating costs of Bagatelle and Glenfield, is detailed in the Admissions Pack.
Please note that a weekly allowance for free Personal/Nursing care is payable for those classified by a Social Work Department as requiring nursing care or residential care. Applicants for admission are advised to contact their local Social Work Department as soon as they wish to apply for residence in either Home.
When a resident’s personal financial resources (approx £21,500) are insufficient to meet these weekly charges the difference between what is made available by government, nationally and locally, and what is required to meet the Board Rate is known as the ‘Care Gap’. As the resources of the Society are finite the co-operation of the family is sought to make a voluntary contribution, wherever possible, to this gap, to enable the charity to operate on a balanced financial basis.
Note: It is obligatory for applicants to notify the local Social Work Department, before entry, if they wish to claim either Personal/Nursing Care Allowances or additional supplementation.
