The local picture
Choice is wide here: the 25 nearest other care homes are all within 3 miles, 18 of them rated Good or Outstanding, and the closest is Millfield, under 0.5 miles away.

What it may cost
We estimate Springfields at £1,130–£1,380 a week for residential care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £59k–£72k.
Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.
With savings below £23,250, Oldham Council may contribute once it has carried out a free needs assessment.

At 7 years old, the rating may not reflect the current team. CQC prioritises higher-risk services, so ask about recent changes rather than assuming the worst.
