How much does Thornbury Care Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Thornbury Care Centre for its weekly fee. As a guide, Sunderland council paid on average £1,028 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.
