Request

We are a company that provides consultancy advice within the elderly care sector.

We are looking to obtain an indication of the standard local authority fees Jersey Council pays for eligible elderly people in care homes or, if no standard flat rate is paid, an indication of the minimum / maximum / average rates paid for each category of care listed below.

This is normally information that the local Commissioning Team or Adult Social Care Finance Team are able to supply.

2021 /2022 financial year rates:

  •  personal care / residential, elderly frail

  • personal care / residential, elderly dementia

  • nursing, elderly frail

  • nursing, elderly dementia

Please could you also state if your quoted nursing fees are inclusive or exclusive of the current NHS funded nursing care (FNC) contribution.

Response

Jersey is not a UK council or a UK local authority or part of the NHS.

Financial assistance towards the cost of long-term care can be sought through the Jersey Long-Term Care scheme:

Long-term care scheme: benefits 

Long-Term Care support is paid according to someone’s care needs and financial circumstances and is capped by law:

Long-Term Care (Benefits) (Jersey) Order 2014

Long-Term Care benefit is available to everyone with an assessed care need once they reaches the care costs cap (a limit on how much someone will spend on standard care fees in their lifetime.)
