Set the care home budget

Fees, staffing, agency spend and repairs, set for the year and agreed by the owners.

1. Get occupancy and fee rates for each funding type
2. Get the current staff cost, including bank and agency spend
3. Check the National Living Wage rise for April. Most people forget this: Pay rises from April are often missed in budgets set in January
4. Draft income and staff costs month by month
5. Add food, utilities, insurance and repairs
6. Plan the fee increase letters to residents and councils
7. Present the budget to the owners (Owner signs off)
8. Send fee increase notice with the notice period in the contract
