Is there an assessment before admission?
Yes. Their clinical team assesses the person before admission, wherever the person is.
How much does Willow Brook House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Willow Brook House for its weekly fee. As a guide, North Northamptonshire council paid on average £695 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.
