The Manor House, Knaresborough
In the absence of free provision by the NHS, the following may also be provided, and shall be charged in addition to the weekly fees: • Chiropody • Optometry • Dentistry • Physiotherapy • Other privately arranged healthcare • Care staff accompaniment to regular medical appointments No upfront deposit is required at The Manor House Knaresborough to secure a room. If you are approaching a number of care home providers, it is often good to ask if they require a deposit. Requesting funding assistance For those who think they may be eligible for care home funding support or require support with this, the first step is to speak to your local Social Services department or your GP. An assessment of your needs will be undertaken and, if it is determined that you require residential care, a financial assessment will be completed by Social Services. The financial assessment will take into account your income (including pensions and benefits) and capital such as savings, property and investments. All this information will then be used to decide how much you can afford to pay towards care home fees, how much the council will contribute and suggest the most suitable care homes for you to consider.
Care home top-up fees If a person is Local Authority funded (council funded) a third-party top-up fee may be charged. This is a weekly cost covered by a third party, typically a family member. More information At The Manor House Knaresborough we are happy to support you and we can provide more information on our fees and answer any questions you may have about living with us. For more information on funding assistance, including details of the current capital limits, visit Gov.uk, the Government’s public services information website, or speak to your local Social Services department or GP. Further advice and guidance can also be found on the Disability Rights UK website, including a range of free factsheets covering topics such as how to apply for an assessment from social services, care charging and changing legislation.
