Questions families ask
How long can respite care last?
Respite care is usually booked for up to eight weeks, depending on individual circumstances. Longer stays may be considered after an individual assessment and care plan.
Is a holding deposit required for a care home room?
A holding deposit may be requested when a room is reserved for a future move-in date. It is refundable after the scheduled move-in day, although 50% may be retained if the person does not move in.
Can someone try the home before moving in permanently?
Yes. Day care can provide an opportunity to experience the home, meet the team and join the community before making a longer-term decision, subject to availability.
Can residents bring their own furniture to West Cliff Hall?
Yes. Residents can bring favourite furniture, photographs, ornaments, books and other belongings, provided there is enough space. The maintenance team can help with personal touches.
How much does West Cliff Hall cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask West Cliff Hall for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hampshire council paid on average £1,214 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.
