Nursing and Residential Care Home Discounts

On what grounds is a patient disregarded?

A person who is resident in a care home or hostel, or in an independent hospital in England, and who is receiving care or treatment there, is disregarded for the purpose of discount. Any person resident in the home who is not receiving care or treatment is not disregarded, and this will include anyone living in the home other than as a patient, for example resident staff or a resident proprietor and any family.
