Dear Louis,

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information Request (FOI 10318 ) dated 23rd February 2021.

Please find the Council’s response to your request relating to Nursing fees below.  The following is a link to the Council’s Website for 2020-21 fees https://search3.openobjects.com/mediamanager/trafford/fsd/files/fa_factsheet_2021.pdf .

Freedom of Information (FOI) Request:

Please see below for FOI questions in relation to nursing and care homes for people over 65.

1. What is your LA’s 2020/21 Nursing Fee Base Rate be? (excluding FNC)

2. What is your LA’s 2020/21 Nursing Dementia Fee Base Rate? (excluding FNC)

3. What is your LA’s 2020/21 Residential Fee Base Rate?  

4. What is your LA’s 2020/21 Residential Dementia Fee Base Rate?

For the financial year 20/21, the Council operated a new single rate system for residential and nursing placements.  This was £560.00 for new residential placements and £626.00 for new nursing placements.  These rates do not distinguish between dementia/ non dementia clients.

The Fee Rates are not based on occupancy levels.
