How much does St Christopher's Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask St Christopher's Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, West Northamptonshire council paid on average £1,086 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.
