About Fairburn Vale
Fairburn Vale delivers nurse-led care for adults living with complex neurological, mental health, physical or behavioural needs. Its community-based care-home setting is intended for people requiring specialist support beyond standard residential provision.
The wider service covers brain injury, dementia and end-of-life care. Fairburn Vale works within a multidisciplinary approach that includes positive behaviour support, physiotherapy and occupational therapy. This combination supports residents whose needs require coordinated input across care and therapy teams. Nurse-led care for adults with complex needs is the defining focus of the home.

Questions families ask
How much does Fairburn Vale cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Fairburn Vale for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wakefield council paid on average £1,105 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 Fairburn Vale whether it takes residents funded by Wakefield 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.
