About Knightswood Care Home
Knightswood Care Home provides residential care in Bolton for older people and those living with dementia. The home’s care planning is reviewed regularly, with adjustments made when a resident’s needs change, and families and friends are encouraged to remain involved.
Daily life is arranged around individual choice within a warm, homely setting. Residents can take part in activities and use shared lounges, while visitors are welcomed as part of the home community. The wider organisation also supports people with complex care needs across its residential homes, but Knightswood is registered as a care home without nursing.

How much does Knightswood Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Knightswood Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Bolton council paid on average £895 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.
