About Dovehaven Grove
Dovehaven Grove supports older people who need help with daily tasks, mobility or safety but do not require medical nursing. The wider Dovehaven service also offers nursing, dementia and specialist health care across North West England, with support able to increase if needs change.
Homes include activities, personal routines and encouragement to maintain independence. Families can remain involved, and existing GPs and specialists can continue to guide treatment plans. Residents may bring furniture, photographs and treasured belongings. Visitors are welcome at any time, although meal times are protected where possible.

How much does Dovehaven Grove cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Dovehaven Grove 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.
