About Borrage House
Borrage House supports older people with residential and dementia care in a registered care home setting. It forms part of Anchor’s later-life services, which include residential care, dementia care and respite or short breaks.

Resident wellbeing support covers activities, catering and mealtimes, helping structure everyday life in the home. The available care pathway depends on individual requirements, whether someone needs ongoing support or a shorter stay.

Questions families ask
How much does Borrage House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Borrage House for its weekly fee. As a guide, North Yorkshire council paid on average £1,274 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 Borrage House whether it takes residents funded by North Yorkshire 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.
