How much does care cost, and what is included?
Your weekly fee depends on the room selected and the initial care assessment. Our all-inclusive approach covers accommodation, personal care, meals, drinks, activities, housekeeping, laundry and dedicated private GP support.
We explain your fee, inclusions, exclusions and terms in writing before admission. The fee does not increase simply because assessed care needs change; standard annual reviews and contractual terms still apply. Read about fees and inclusions.

What happens if care needs change?
We review care as needs change and discuss appropriate support with the resident and, where appropriate, their family. Our residential, nursing and dementia services may allow care to adapt within the same home. Remaining at Esmere Gardens depends on assessment and our ability to meet the person’s needs safely.
Do you support people living with dementia?
Yes. We provide dementia care shaped around each person’s needs, preferences and life history. Familiar routines, calm communication and meaningful activities help guide our approach. An assessment confirms whether we can offer suitable support. Learn about dementia care.
Is private GP support included for every resident?
Yes. Dedicated private GP support is included in our all-inclusive approach for permanent residents and respite guests. It works alongside our nursing team, NHS services and other healthcare professionals. Discover our GP partnership.
Can you help when care is needed at short notice?
We may be able to arrange a short-notice admission following hospital discharge, a change in health or a change in family circumstances. This depends on assessment, suitable care arrangements and availability. Call 01608 692222 to discuss your situation.
