The cost of respite care depends entirely on the level of support needed. For residential respite care, including personal support and meals, weekly fees in 2025 often start from around £900 – £1,600. For respite that requires 24/7 nursing care from registered nurses, the cost is higher, typically ranging from £1,200 – £1,600+ per week as it is more nursing respite care.
Regarding financial support, we advise contacting Birmingham City Council’s Adult Social Care team to request a ‘Carer’s Assessment’ or a ‘Needs Assessment’. For those requiring nursing care, a contribution from the NHS called ‘Funded Nursing Care’ (FNC) may also be available. We provide a fully transparent quote after a personal assessment and are happy to help you navigate the options..
There are no strict qualifications and/or criteria. Eligibility is based on a needs assessment to ensure we can provide the right level of support and respite care. Whether you need simple residential assistance or complex nursing care, we create a plan for you. Please contact us for a personalised discussion.
In most cases, respite care is self-funded. However, depending on individual financial circumstances and a social care assessment, your local authority may contribute towards the cost. For those with specific medical needs, a contribution via NHS Funded Nursing Care (FNC) might also be available.
The length of a short-term respite care stay is flexible, based on your needs and our availability. Stays can range from one week to several weeks. We recommend booking in advance for our respite care Sutton Coldfield service, especially for planned holidays.
Funding support is often available for respite breaks. Your first step should be to request a ‘Carer’s Assessment’ from Birmingham City Council, which can lead to a personal budget to help pay for your chosen care. This gives you the freedom to select a provider that meets your needs, such as our welcoming nursing home in Sutton Coldfield. Additionally, charitable grants may be available via the Birmingham Carers Hub or your Local Carers Trust service. Our team at Marian House is always here to help you understand your options for short-term respite care.
In many cases, we can arrange an admission for emergency respite care on the same day or within 24 hours.
