About Garth Brow (Adult Care Home)
Garth Brow (Adult Care Home) provides residential support for people with learning disabilities through Oaklea Trust, a charitable organisation supporting disabled, disadvantaged and vulnerable people. Its wider purpose is to help people live and work as independently as possible within their communities.
The Oaklea approach combines person-centred care and support with opportunities to learn, develop and thrive. This makes the service relevant to adults who need assistance with everyday living while working towards greater independence and community participation. The supplied service information identifies the home as part of Oaklea’s wider support network, but gives limited detail about this particular setting’s accommodation, activities or daily routines.

Questions families ask
How much does Garth Brow (Adult Care Home) cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Garth Brow (Adult Care Home) for its weekly fee. 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Garth Brow (Adult Care Home) whether it takes residents funded by Westmorland and Furness 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.
