Common questions

How much do nursing homes in Lancashire cost?

Nursing homes in Lancashire typically charge £1,270 a week, usually between £1,021 and £1,400. Fees depend on the room and the level of care, so ask each home for a written quote.

How many nursing homes are there in Lancashire?

106 of the 420 CQC-registered care homes in Lancashire are nursing homes. The list is refreshed from the CQC register every month.

What is the difference between a nursing home and a care home in Lancashire?

Both provide a room, meals and personal care. A nursing home also has registered nurses on site day and night, so it suits people with health needs such as complex medication, pressure care or conditions that need monitoring. Residential homes rely on visiting district nurses instead.

Will the council pay for nursing home care in Lancashire?

If your savings and assets are below £23,250 the council will assess what you can afford and may pay part or all of the fee. Separately, the NHS pays a flat weekly amount for the nursing part of the fee to anyone assessed as needing nursing care, whatever their savings. Ask the adult social care team at Lancashire council for a needs assessment.
