How much does Acer Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Acer Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Blackburn with Darwen council paid on average £818 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
