Somewhere to live
We aim to help people stay living at home safely or in their local community wherever possible.
Find support to help you stay independent on our Care and support in Nottinghamshire page.
If you can no longer manage at home
If you have explored ways to stay independent and can no longer manage at home, you may want to consider:
- extra care housing - independent accommodation with support available.
- supported living - support to help you live independently.
- shared lives - living with an approved carer in a family home.
You can also find respite care, care homes, sheltered housing and other support services on Your Notts Directory.

Planning and paying for care
Getting financial advice can help you understand your options before making decisions about paying for care.
This can help if:
- there are several options and you need help choosing between them.
- there may be a conflict between your interests and the council's.
- you are about to enter a legal agreement, such as a deferred payment agreement.
- you want advice on financial products.

Quality of care
When choosing a care home, you may want to compare quality ratings, location and the type of care provided.
Care Quality Commission (CQC)
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspects care homes and rates the quality of care they provide.
You can view inspection reports for Nottinghamshire care homes on the Care Quality Commission website.
Care home fees
Fees for council-funded care home placements vary depending on the care home and the level of care and support needed.
As a guide, weekly fees typically range from £776.20 to £1,025.62.
The amount paid is based on the quality of the care home and the level of care and support required.
