Residential Care

Residential care (sometimes called assisted living or personal care) is for older adults who need low to moderate support with everyday tasks. It is suitable for people who do not need 24-hour clinical care from a registered nurse.

At Tanglewood, we design and operate modern, purpose-built care homes that provide both residential care and advanced assisted living. Every care home combines comfort, safety and a strong sense of community.  Avocet House is a care home located in Boston’s new Quadrant development, Avocet House offers a vibrant residential lifestyle with easy access to local markets and community events.

1. Enquiry and Visit

Start by contacting your preferred Tanglewood home or our central team. We can check availability and arrange a visit so you can experience the home for yourself.

You can also request a brochure for homes such as Bingley Park or Trent Bridge through our website.

2. Care Needs Assessment

A member of our admissions team will carry out a thorough and gentle assessment. This helps us understand whether Residential, Dementia, or Nursing care is needed. It also allows us to create a personalised care plan.

3. Financial Assessment

If you need help with funding, you can apply to your Local Authority for a financial assessment (means test). This determines whether you will receive financial support.

4. Moving In

Once assessments are complete, we ensure a smooth transition. Residents are welcome to bring personal belongings, photos, and favourite items to make the room feel like home.

The cost depends on the type of care needed (for example, standard residential or residential dementia care), the home’s location, and the room chosen.

Indicative prices range from around £1,100 to over £1,600 per week across Tanglewood homes.

For example:

• Sandpiper starts from £1,112 per week
• Beeston Rise starts from £1,620 per week

There are no administration fees. Permanent care fees are usually paid monthly in advance.

Self-Funders

People with savings or capital above £23,250 (current threshold in England) usually pay the full cost of their care.

Local Authority Funded or Part-Funded

If savings fall below the threshold, the Local Authority may contribute to the cost. This will be confirmed through the financial assessment.

Funding Options for Residential Care

Local Authority Support (If Funds Reduce)

If you are self-funding and your savings approach £23,250, contact your Local Authority at least three months in advance. They can reassess and may begin to contribute.

Deferred Payment Scheme

If most of your capital is tied up in a property, your Local Authority may offer a Deferred Payment Scheme. Care fees are then repaid later from the property or estate.

Attendance Allowance

This benefit may be available for older adults who need help with personal care due to illness or disability, regardless of income or savings.

We always recommend seeking independent financial advice from organisations such as SOLLA or Age UK. They can help you explore funding options and make informed decisions.
