Our Response to the Government Budget
As a small, independent care home, we have carefully reviewed the details of the government’s latest budget.

The measures outlined in the budget, combined with ongoing economic trends, make it inevitable that our operational costs will rise further. Increases in energy prices, food costs, and wages—all critical to running a safe, caring, and compliant home—are already straining our resources. Additionally, the increased regulatory burdens and [...]
