What Hampshire pays for a care home place

£1,359 a week£274 more than the middle council in England (£1,085), the 9th highest of 151.

This is what the council spent, averaged over every placement it paid for, not a fee anyone is quoted. People paying for themselves are usually charged more: the Competition and Markets Authority found a 41% gap on average in 2017.
