About Branthwaite Care Home
Branthwaite Care Home supports adults with residential, dementia and nursing care, with respite and day care also available. As part of Knights Care, its nursing provision includes registered nurses overseeing health and wellbeing, while respite can support recovery or planned carer breaks.
Palliative care focuses on comfort, dignity, familiar routines and family support. Care teams work alongside GPs, community nurses and specialist healthcare professionals, with support that may include medication management, wound care and monitoring health conditions. Palliative and end-of-life care gives residents and families comfort-focused support when illness is advanced or life-limiting.

Questions families ask
How much does Branthwaite Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Branthwaite Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Nottinghamshire council paid on average £1,085 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 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 Branthwaite Care Home whether it takes residents funded by Nottinghamshire 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). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
