In Croydon, care home fees vary based on factors such as the type of care needed (with nursing care costing more than residential care), the facilities and activities available, room size and other features, and the staff-to-resident ratio.
Homes in more central areas may be more expensive due to higher property and carer costs.

What Croydon care homes offer respite care?
