As the Retreat does not offer Nursing Home Facilities, applications are not considered from those who require 24hr care or nursing services; or whose medical condition is likely to be a health hazard to other residents; or who have suffered a major mental illness in the last 10 years, which requires ongoing specialist supervision and treatment.

Residents make a Maintenance Contribution towards the cost of the upkeep and administration of St Scholastica's, payable monthly in advance. The cost of electricity used for central heating, cooking, lighting etc, is the responsibility of residents, as is the Council Tax levied by High Wycombe Council.
