Residential and Nursing Homes for Older People: Fees for 2016/17
PDF 50 KBThe County Council commissions residential and nursing home places for older people from 340 Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered establishments based in Lancashire.
The County Council's older peoples' nursing and residential fee structure contains 50 individual rates. Some rates are based on the date of admission to residential care whilst some relate to the standard of accommodation.
This report sets out the rationale, financial context and analysis underpinning the award of uplifts to these rates with effect from 1st April 2016 for the 2016/17 financial year. It recommends an increase across all fee levels and, in acknowledgement of comments made by the Health and Social Care Partnership, recommends simplifying the fee structure so that the fee payable is independent of the date of admission to residential care.
This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order No. 25 have been complied with.
