Dear Alan Andrews,

Thank you for your email dated 2nd May 2022 where you requested
information about Elder Care Costs.

I note that the following response was provided to your previous identical
request dated 27th January 2022 under CRM FOI 11141. I have set out the
response below for your information.

Response to FOI 11141

• The typical cost that would be charged to a member of the public, for
a care home, per week, procured by the council (assuming no
reliefs/discounts applicable).  Please could you tell me the weekly
price for residential care, nursing care and nursing care with
dementia.  For each pls can you itemise separately the personal care
element.

For care homes there is no typical cost and is based on assessment of need
and individual circumstances of the care home/service user. We do not
separate out personal care from the overall cost.

• The typical cost that would be charged to a member of the public, for
an hour of home care procured by the council (assuming no
reliefs/discounts applicable).  Please could you itemise separately
the personal care element if one exists.

For Home Care the typical chargeable rate currently would be £16 per hour,
we do not disaggregate what the money is for.

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original letter and should be addressed to: Complaints and Access to
Information team - Email – [1][Enfield Council request email]

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information
Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9
5AF
