About Barley Brook
Supporting people living with dementia, Barley Brook is a small residential care home in Wigan with 28 residents. The team learns each person’s life story, routines, preferences and sources of comfort, then uses these details in individual care plans.
Care includes meaningful one-to-one time, familiar music, conversations, everyday activities and opportunities to stay connected with family. Residents can maintain individuality and independence within a welcoming home, with regular activities and scenic surroundings adding variety to daily life. The smaller setting allows care to remain centred on each person.

Questions families ask
How much does Barley Brook cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Barley Brook for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wigan council paid on average £807 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Barley Brook whether it takes residents funded by Wigan council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
