About Croft Avenue Care Home
Croft Avenue Care Home provides residential care in Penrith for older people, including those living with dementia or physical frailty. The 30-bed home has furnished bedrooms, shared living areas, a dining room and landscaped outdoor space, with living areas accessible by wheelchair.
Residents receive support from trained staff around the clock, alongside home-cooked meals and special diets.

How much does Croft Avenue Care Home cost?

As a guide, Westmorland and Furness council paid on average £1,203 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.
