How much does Portland College cost?

As a guide, Nottinghamshire council paid on average £3,568 a week for a nursing care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,521 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
