About Meadowfield House Home for Older People
Meadowfield House Home for Older People provides assisted living and residential care for older people, including people living with dementia or physical disabilities. Its registered scope also includes younger adults, while temporary stays and rehabilitation following hospital treatment are associated with the home.
The service focuses on residential support for people who need help with daily living. Families considering care can discuss whether its registered scope matches an individual’s circumstances and required level of assistance. Meadowfield House is therefore best understood as residential care for older people with support covering dementia and physical disabilities.

Questions families ask
How much does Meadowfield House Home for Older People cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Meadowfield House Home for Older People for its weekly fee. As a guide, Lancashire council paid on average £925 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 Meadowfield House Home for Older People whether it takes residents funded by Lancashire 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.
