Questions families ask
How much does Thornhill cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Thornhill for its weekly fee. As a guide, Sunderland council paid on average £1,932 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 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 Thornhill whether it takes residents funded by Sunderland 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.
