Questions families ask

How much does 3-4 Priors Court Cottages cost?

The CQC register does not list fees, so ask 3-4 Priors Court Cottages for its weekly fee. As a guide, West Berkshire council paid on average £2,107 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 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 3-4 Priors Court Cottages whether it takes residents funded by West Berkshire council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
