Questions families ask
How much does 188 Whitley Wood Lane Respite Care cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask 188 Whitley Wood Lane Respite Care for its weekly fee. As a guide, Reading council paid on average £1,002 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask 188 Whitley Wood Lane Respite Care whether it takes residents funded by Reading council and what it charges people who pay for themselves.
