The charge also includes a small addition for extra catering costs and, where appropriate, for the use of a single room.
A single room in another person's house is another matter.
We are still gathering information from a variety of sources to gauge the impact of the single room rent restriction.
We have, however, announced our intention to revoke the extension of the single room rent to people aged between 25 and 59.
Some people aged under 25 are already exempt from single room rents.
These include topping-up the fees paid by the local authority for a care-home place, and paying extra for a single room or for haircuts, outings and chiropody.
A single room should be full of the belongings of the individual in order to remind them who they are and to tell staff as well.
The simple facade preference is reactivated because single room 2 can shrink to align with single room 1, now that the preference on its area is inactive.
