Questions families ask

What should elderly care homes offer?

Older people may need different combinations of personal care, mobility support, medicines management and social activity. Compare what each home can support now and how it plans for needs that may change.

How many elderly care homes are there in Southampton?

39 elderly care homes in Southampton are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).

How much does a care home cost in Southampton?

Southampton council paid on average £990 a week for residential care and £1,293 for nursing care for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025. For adults aged 18 to 64 it paid £1,591 and £1,372. Across England the averages were £982 and £1,102 for people aged 65 and over. People who pay for their own care are often charged more, so ask each home for its weekly fee.
