It is advisable to contact Social Work Services (duty Care Manager) to inform them that you are coming in to Residential Care. When your savings fall to £35,000, please contact Social Work Services again to inform them of your financial position.
To obtain the Free Personal Care/Nursing Care Allowance you must contact Social Work Services before admission to Viewlands House.

DECLARATION
I apply to live in Viewlands House, and I acknowledge that residents are encouraged to furnish their own rooms.
I confirm that any furnishings I bring into my room at Viewlands House will comply with current fire-proofing regulations.
I authorise the Society to make enquiries of my Doctor, and also the person named above, in connection with this application.
The charges for accommodation, food, heating and personal laundry are currently from £1000.00 per week for residential care and from £1200.00 per week for nursing care, for self funded residents. These charges are reviewed annually, any increases take effect from 1st April. I undertake to pay my fair share of any increase in charges as may be determined by the Society from time to time.
I understand that Viewlands House provides Nursing Care if required but that a separate arrangement will be made with the resident and their family / Care Manager where a resident has dementia and it is felt that Viewlands House is no longer able to meet their needs. In this event it may, therefore, be necessary for the resident to transfer to a more suitable environment.
If I wish to leave I undertake to give the Society two months notice in writing of my intention to do so.
Do you have a Social Worker?
If you are self-funding, please confirm you would be able to
self-fund for a minimum of 3 years.
