About Ashton Cross
Acquired brain injury rehabilitation at Ashton Cross combines clinical therapies, structured activity and vocational placements around each person’s goals and progress. The service supports people with physical disabilities through a flexible pathway that can change as needs develop.

Rehabilitation takes place in residential units, community housing, day placements or a client’s current residence. At Ashton Cross, clients can work towards greater independence through practical activity and community participation, with residential stays averaging 18-24 months. Admission requires the client to be medically stable and not need continuous nursing supervision.

How is rehabilitation funded?

How much does Ashton Cross cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ashton Cross for its weekly fee. As a guide, St. Helens council paid on average £808 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
