“I had to make the hardest decision to look for a care home for my mother, after an extensive and exhaustive search and visits, I chose Damfield Gardens and boy what a home! The staff and manager are lovely, they can’t do enough for my mum and me. They’ve made me feel happy and that my mum is safe and very well looked after. I thoroughly recommend this home.” Rachel (daughter of resident)

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of care does Highpoint Care offer in Damfield?
Our Damfield site offers residential care for the elderly: round-the-clock, personalised care from dedicated staff. We also provide dementia care for those with dementia type illnesses.
When will I need to pay my own fees?
In most cases, residents are responsible for paying their own fees. If your “capital” is valued under £23,250, then your local authority will provide assistance. Capital means your house, savings and any investments you have.
If your spouse still lives in your home this is “disregarded” when calculating your capital balance. Any joint accounts will be split 50:50.
What happens if my property is my only asset I own when I need to move into a care home and it will take time to release funds from it?
Speak to the care home and they will be able to advise you about their policy.
Speak to your social services about the 12 week property disregard scheme where social services will fund your fees while you sell your home. You may still need to pay a top up if the local authority only pays at their rate.
What if I don’t want to sell my house?
You may be eligible for a Deferred Payments scheme. This is where the local authority pays your fees and takes a charge on your house. They will charge you interest. All local authorities operate the scheme slightly differently so you will need to contact them directly.
When will the NHS pay for care home fees?
If you have complex health needs, the NHS will meet your care home fees. This funding is known as Continuing HealthCare (CHC) and is not means tested. There are very strict criteria and most nursing home residents are not eligible. There is more guidance on the NHS website.
What does the care home fee cover?
The fee should cover your accommodation costs, meals and essential care. Before you choose a home, check out what extras are chargeable. For example, hairdressing, physiotherapy and chiropody are often charged on top of fees.
