The Royal Naval Benevolent Trust provides an exceptional standard of care for older people.

Priority is given to those who have served as Warrant Officers or below in the Royal Navy or Royal Marines and their wives, husbands, widow(er) or civil partners. This includes service with the Royal Naval Reserves. Depending on availability of rooms, consideration may also be given to other applicants. Please contact us to enquire. Each applicant is assessed so that we learn about the person their care needs and preferences, ensuring we only admit veterans whose care needs can be met by our Admiral Jellicoe House team.

RESPITE

For the majority of our residents we provide a long-term home to live in.  We also provide care for a limited number of residents for short respite breaks. This could be an opportunity for somebody managing at home to be cared for and to enjoy the many activities on offer for a short period of time. It will also enable those who provide care for others to know that their loved ones can be cared for while they themselves have a break.

FEES

Before an application to live at Admiral Jellicoe House can progress it is necessary for funding arrangements to be in place. For applicants seeking long-term residence, there are generally three possible sources of funding:

  • Self-Funding
  • NHS Continuing Care Funding
  • Social Services Funding

We seek to provide the highest quality of care for residents, and aim to keep fees to an affordable level. We regularly compare our fees to similar Homes to ensure our fees remain in step with the sector, and review our fees in April each year. Our weekly fee rates are set according to the type of care required.

The weekly fee rates for residents who are funding their own care will be calculated on an individual basis.  A person centred Care Plan will be designed to meet the needs of the resident and this will be costed accordingly.  Typical fees for residential care start from £1,350 per week for new residents.
