Data shows regional variations in the cost of dementia care in care homes 

ByCommunity Team

Data published by care home review service carehome.co.uk has shown significant regional variations in the cost of dementia care for self-funding families. 

In England, fees in London and the South East are highest and Scotland is similar (partly due to higher minimum wages for care workers in Scotland), whilst in the North East of England and Wales fees are lower.  

The data is based on average regional care home fees from carehome.co.uk dated 9 September 2025.
