Questions families ask
How much does Blackburn (Florence House) cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Blackburn (Florence House) for its weekly fee. As a guide, Blackburn with Darwen council paid on average £653 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?
