Nursing Care Home Placements (care homes with nursing)
Where a person has been assessed by an NHS professional as having nursing needs, the NHS make a payment towards the cost of your care. This is known as the NHS funded nursing care (FNC) rate. The Expected Range for nursing care below includes the amount of the FNC. The Council pays the care home provider the weekly fee below minus FNC amount and the care home provider will claim the FNC directly from the NHS.
