Is Treatment at Moorside Unit Free?
Admission to Moorside Unit is funded through the trust’s commissioned dementia services, leaving families with nothing to pay. The Moorside Unit falls under NHS provision rather than private-sector care.
A private dementia care placement would instead be priced according to that provider’s rates and the level of nursing needed, so private providers should be approached directly for costs. Anyone wanting more on funding for Moorside Unit should ask the trust.
