What it may cost
We estimate Park Lane Residential Home at £1,420–£1,730 a week for nursing care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £74k–£90k.
Where a resident needs nursing, the NHS pays part of the fee straight to the home as NHS-funded nursing care, regardless of who pays the rest.
If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Cheshire East Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
