About Franklin House Limited
Franklin House Limited provides residential care and personal assistance for older people, with particular experience supporting people living with dementia. The home offers single-room accommodation on one level, en-suite facilities and an enclosed courtyard with raised flower beds and a summer house.
Daily activities are planned by lifestyle teams, while residents can maintain familiar routines and receive support with personal care, healthcare needs and social life. Families and friends can be involved as much or as little as they wish. Special diets are accommodated, and residents may retain their GP when the practice’s catchment area allows. The privately owned home is situated on the edge of Oldham town centre.

Questions families ask
Can residents stay if their health deteriorates?
Usually, yes. They only require a move when long-term specialist nursing care is needed. Hospital care can be arranged, and a District Nurse can support short-term nursing needs after they return.
What activities do they offer in the care home?
They provide activities every day, planned and organised by dedicated lifestyle teams. The programme varies by home, and they try to include activities that residents have always enjoyed.
Can they provide special diets in the care home?
Yes. They provide special diets for needs such as diabetes, low-fat eating and other nutritional requirements, while respecting residents’ preferences and trying to meet religious dietary needs.
Can residents keep seeing their existing GP?
Yes, provided the chosen home is within the GP’s catchment area. Otherwise, they can support registration with a local surgery and help arrange dentist registration and in-house optical services.
Do they provide hairdressing and chiropody?
Yes. A hairdresser visits every fortnight and offers cutting, blow-dry, sets and perms for women and men. Chiropody can be arranged, or residents may continue with their private chiropodist.
How much does Franklin House Limited cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Franklin House Limited for its weekly fee. As a guide, Oldham council paid on average £705 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.
