About Milbanke Home for Older People
Milbanke Home for Older People is registered as a residential care home without nursing for older people, including those living with dementia and physical disabilities. The home’s registered scope is residential support rather than nursing provision.
Its clearest profile is a care setting for older people whose needs can be met without registered nursing. Families comparing homes can therefore distinguish it from nursing facilities when considering dementia support, physical disability care and the level of clinical assistance required.

Questions families ask
How much does Milbanke Home for Older People cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Milbanke 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 Milbanke 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.
