We are committed to providing transparent and compassionate care, and we believe that it’s essential for our residents and their loved ones to understand the cost of care services we offer clearly.

Choosing the right care home for your loved one is a significant decision, and understanding the cost of care is integral to that process. At Valorum, we are dedicated to providing exceptional care and transparency regarding pricing. We believe that by offering a range of accommodation options, personalised care plans, and financial assistance, we can help you make the best choices for your loved one’s well-being.

We will explain the various factors contributing to the cost of care at a Valorum Care Home. Our goal is to provide you with all the information you need to make informed decisions about your loved one’s care and ensure that you have peace of mind knowing that they are receiving the best possible care.

Factors Affecting the Cost of Care

Type of Care

The first factor influencing the cost of care at Valorum Care Home is the type of care required. We offer various care services, including residential care, dementia care, nursing care, and respite care. Each type of care has its own set of specific requirements and associated costs.

• Residential Care: This level of care is suitable for individuals who need assistance with daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, but do not require nursing care.
• Dementia Care: For residents with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, specialised care is provided, including memory care and activities designed to support cognitive function.
• Nursing Care: Those with complex medical needs or chronic conditions may require nursing care, which involves round-the-clock medical supervision and support.
• Respite Care: Short-term care is available for individuals who need temporary relief for their regular carers, whether family members or friends.

Accommodation Type

Another significant factor impacting the cost of care is the type of accommodation chosen. At Valorum Care Home, we offer a variety of room options, from shared rooms to private suites. The cost varies depending on the level of privacy and comfort preferred by the resident.

• Shared Rooms: Shared rooms are an economical option for those who are comfortable sharing their living space with another resident.
• Single Rooms: For those who value their privacy, single rooms offer a personal space with all the necessary amenities.
• Deluxe Suites: Our deluxe suites provide an enhanced living experience with additional space and luxurious features.

Level of Care Required

The level of care required by a resident can significantly impact the cost. Valorum Care Homes provide a personalised care plan for each resident, tailored to their specific needs. As a resident’s care needs increase, the cost may also increase to accommodate the required support and resources.

Additional Services and Amenities

At Valorum Care Home, we offer a range of additional services and amenities to enhance the quality of life for our residents. These services can include:

• Dietary services with special dietary accommodations
• Transportation services for medical appointments and outings
• Personalised well-being programmes and activities
• Housekeeping and laundry services
• 24-hour on-site nursing care
• Access to a variety of therapies, such as physiotherapy

The cost of care may vary depending on which of these additional services and amenities are chosen by the resident or their family.

Funding Options

We understand that financing long-term care can be a concern for many families. At Valorum, we work with residents and their families to explore various funding options, including:

• Self-funding: Some residents may choose to use their savings, assets, or pensions to cover the cost of care.
• Local Authority Funding: In some cases, local authorities may provide financial assistance for individuals who meet specific eligibility criteria.
• NHS Continuing Healthcare: For residents with complex medical needs, the NHS may provide full funding for their care.
• Care Funding Assistance: We can help residents and families explore options for additional financial support, such as benefits or grants.

Transparency in Pricing

Valorum Care Group is committed to transparent pricing for our residents and their families. We understand the importance of knowing exactly what to expect regarding the cost of care. Our pricing is designed to be fair, competitive, and reflective of the high-quality care and services we provide.

It’s important to note that the cost of care at a Valorum Care Home is not one-size-fits-all. We conduct thorough assessments for each resident to determine their unique care needs and preferences. This individualised approach allows us to provide accurate and transparent pricing that aligns with the specific level of care required.

• Conducting a financial assessment to determine eligibility for funding or benefits
• Exploring available funding options and government support
