About Heathside Residential Home
Heathside Residential Home supports older people, younger adults and people with dementia, physical disabilities or sensory impairment. The home provides residential accommodation and everyday personal support in a care-home setting for people who need help with daily living.
Its registration establishes a care home without nursing. The home’s role is residential support rather than nursing provision, with care focused on the groups listed in its registration. The registered scope therefore centres on accommodation and personal care for people whose needs are suited to a non-nursing home.

Questions families ask
How much does Heathside Residential Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Heathside Residential Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wigan council paid on average £807 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 Heathside Residential Home whether it takes residents funded by Wigan 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.
