Care home fees are rising by ten per cent in Tameside as the borough faces ‘significant challenges’ in recruiting enough carers.
Bosses have announced that care fees will rise in order to meet rising costs, including going forward with a commitment by the council to pay the real living wage to carers working in the borough.
It means a standard weekly fee for someone living in a care home increases from £580 to £638, and the costs for someone with dementia would rise from £633 to £696.
