How much does Birches cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Birches for its weekly fee. As a guide, Nottinghamshire council paid on average £2,257 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.
