Questions families ask
How much does The Chestnuts cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Chestnuts for its weekly fee. As a guide, South Gloucestershire council paid on average £1,307 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask The Chestnuts whether it takes residents funded by South Gloucestershire 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). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
