How much does The Wells Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Wells Nursing Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Somerset council paid on average £1,082 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
