Fees and Funding FAQ's
Weekly fees: from £1,269 to £1,575 depending solely on the type of room.
In contrast to other homes, our fees are not dependent on the type of care you require. They will not be increased if your care needs change during your stay with us.
We conduct an annual review of our fees in December and notify residents of any increase in that month, with that increase taking effect at the end of January in the following year.
Unless you move during your stay to a bigger room, this will be the only increase we ever charge you.
Everything except personal items that a resident may wish to use.
The charity will top up fees depending on each person’s personal circumstances. Once again, our Registered Manager, Yvonne Stout, would be happy to discuss funding possibilities with you.
This depends on each person’s personal circumstances. Our Registered Manager, Yvonne Stout, would be happy to discuss funding possibilities with you.
If this does not cover the full amount of the weekly fee, the residual fee will remain payable either by the resident or their third party contributor. Should funding be withdrawn, the resident and/or their third party contributor will be liable for the full cost of the weekly fee.

Daughter of resident
Both my mother and father have stayed at Petworth. My father stayed there for end-of-life care in 2023 for several months, and my mum stayed there in September 2026 to recover after an operation.
I can’t praise the staff enough for their care and attention. Every patient is important and looked after with diligence, kindness and humour (when appropriate).
The setting is beautiful and it’s a really peaceful place, run by people who care deeply about all of their patients.

Review from family member
‘To all the staff at PCNH, I would like to express our profound gratitude to you all for making the last two years of my mother’s life as pleasant as possible. You always had time for her (and for me) and treated her with dignity, tenderness, kindness and a sense of humour.’
Family of a Resident
‘Words cannot express just how grateful we are to you for the exceptional nursing care, support and kindness you gave mum throughout her time at PCNH. You were complete saviours and allowed mum to have three ‘bonus’ years after her terminal diagnosis. We will be eternally thankful! The homeliness of PCNH shines through. That, with amazing happy staff who are always there to help, chat and share a giggle made visits easy. You are truly exceptional.’
