How much does Murdoch House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Murdoch House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wokingham council paid on average £1,181 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.
