About Somerset House
Somerset House provides specialist 24-hour residential care for adults and children with complex mental health needs in Bolton. The service works with NHS Trusts, Social Services and other healthcare professionals, accepting referrals and developing care packages around each resident’s needs, recovery goals and level of independence.
The referral process begins with a thorough assessment and a personalised care plan, followed by a planned transition into one of the homes. Private rooms, communal living spaces and outdoor areas support a homely setting, while staff work with families and referring authorities to build longer-term stability. Somerset House explicitly discourages last-minute crisis placements in favour of early collaboration.

How much does Somerset House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Somerset House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Bolton council paid on average £1,957 a week for a nursing care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,521 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
