About Grace Court Care Centre

Grace Court Care Centre provides accommodation and nursing care for people in St Helens with dementia and varying levels of nursing need. The home is divided into three 10-bed units, Ash, Willow and Rowan, allowing different care environments for residents with distinct support requirements.

Qualified nurses are on duty around the clock alongside carers, chefs, housekeeping and maintenance staff.

How much does Grace Court Care Centre cost?

The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Grace Court Care Centre for its weekly fee. As a guide, St. Helens council paid on average £1,093 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
