Welcome to Bonnyton House

Moving home is a stressful event in anyone’s life. This may well be the first time that you have lived in a
communal setting. Please feel free to ask us about your care, the routine of the home or anything else that
concerns you.

Bonnyton House is a registered care home providing accommodation for 14 residents. We also provide day care
for up to 2 people.

Fees: You will be advised by your Care Manager of the amount you will have to contribute towards the fees for
your care in the Care Home after financial assessment has been completed. The Care Home will not accept self-
funding residents under the National Contract Route 3, however if residents become eligible for full public
funding, they may transfer to the National Contract Route 3. It is always advisable to seek the help of a Care
Manager before admission to the Care home.
