Questions families ask
How long can a respite stay last?
Usually up to 8 weeks, depending on individual circumstances. Longer stays can sometimes be arranged for several months after an individual assessment and care plan.
Is a holding deposit required to reserve a room?
Sometimes. The Home Manager may request one to reserve a room for a future move-in date. It is fully refundable after the scheduled move-in day, although 50% may be retained if the move does not happen.
Can someone try the home before moving in?
Yes. Day care can provide an opportunity to experience life at the home, meet the team, join the community and take part in activities before making a longer-term decision, subject to availability.
How much does Hartford Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Hartford Court for its weekly fee. As a guide, Portsmouth council paid on average £1,134 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.
