Is Treatment at Ashcroft Unit Free?
Care at Ashcroft Unit is NHS-funded through Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health’s commissioned dementia services, so there is no charge for an admission arranged this way. Families are not billed directly for care provided on this ward.
Choosing a privately funded dementia placement instead would mean facing whatever the private market charges, and that figure shifts a lot depending on provider and nursing need. The trust can advise on funding for a specific referral to Ashcroft Unit.
