Private funding
Many families pay privately for residential or respite care. Fees depend on the home, room, care needs and assessment, so they should be discussed directly with the team.
Fees and funding
Clear guidance before big decisions.
Care funding can feel confusing. This page keeps to the main routes families ask about and points you to official advice for the details.
What to expect
Fees are personal to the home, room and assessed care need.
The current Hollyman site does not publish live prices, so this rebuild avoids invented fees. Families should contact the team for current availability, room options and an accurate discussion.
Local authority support
If circumstances change, Norfolk County Council adult social care can advise on care needs assessments and financial assessment. Eligibility rules and thresholds can change.
Third-party contributions
Sometimes called a top-up fee, this may be relevant where a family chooses accommodation above the amount a local authority will fund. Always seek clear written advice before agreeing.
NHS Continuing Healthcare
Some people with a primary health need may be assessed for NHS Continuing Healthcare. This is a separate process from local authority social care funding.
