About Beacon View Home for Older People
Residential care for older people, including residents living with dementia, is available at Beacon View Home for Older People, alongside respite care. Its care supports individual needs within a homely residential setting.
Fresh food and snacks form part of daily life. The home’s registration covers dementia, older people, learning disabilities and younger adults, while its listed categories identify residential care rather than nursing care. This makes the home’s registered care scope an important point to establish when considering support for someone whose needs may require nursing input.

Questions families ask
How much does Beacon View Home for Older People cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Beacon View Home for Older People for its weekly fee. As a guide, Lancashire council paid on average £925 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 Beacon View Home for Older People whether it takes residents funded by Lancashire 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.
