Our fees
As a care home in North London, Baxendale is a non-profit making Charitable Trust. Our Trustees ensure that all income is used for the benefit of our current – and future – residents, which enables us to keep our charges to the minimum.
Always competitively priced
We calculate our fees to cover our running costs, as we are a non-profit making charity. Actual rates depend upon the level of support and care required by each resident.
Always accommodating
We open our doors to anyone aged 65 or older from any background, faith, gender or personal circumstances, however, our Charitable Charter does require us to give preference to women.
Some of our rooms are available to people requiring financial support from their local authority. These rooms are available at a greatly reduced rate, which we negotiate with the relevant local authority, based on the care required by the applicant. Fees can also be whole or part-settled by insurance plans and top-up fees are possible.
Always fair
In all cases, a pre-admission assessment is carried out. This is to assess the level of care required, how fees can be met and if a financial top-up is possible. Where a top-up isn’t possible, residents will be accepted based on the care they need and the local authority rate will be applied. In the case of a local authority refusing support, we do maintain a Designated Fund that can provide a grant to cover a resident’s fees.
We appreciate that sometimes the personal circumstances and finances of our residents may change, but we are proud of the fact that we have never asked anyone to leave Baxendale because of their inability to pay our fees.
I love all the friends I’ve made at Baxendale, but, every so often, I do like to sit quietly and just read a book.
