Right to Review Fees. The Fees will be reviewed by us in April each year. The annual review is normally based on a combination of the following:- • an analysis of the previous year’s costs; • the RPI rate of inflation; • average earnings index plus minimum wage rate; • any increase in costs incurred as a result of changes in legislation; and • any other significant increase in specific costs. Nothing shall prohibit us from increasing Fees if there is an unforeseen material increase in the cost of delivery of the service, for example, as a result of a change in legislation affecting the cost of care. The Fees may also be reviewed (upwards or downwards) if there is a significant change in the level of care provided or your care needs (as set out in the Care Plan) change. We will give you at least 28 days’ notice before the revised Fees are payable except where the type of room occupied changes. In this case any change to the Fees is applicable immediately where the change in type of room arises at your request or a change in the Care Plan. If there is an acute change in your care needs which leaves you at risk, we will provide the necessary care immediately and this will be chargeable. You may also be eligible for certain State benefits. The Manager of the Care Home will be able to help you in seeking independent advice on which benefits you may be eligible for.
