About Swallowfield Garden Care Home
Swallowfield Garden Care Home supports people with dementia, mental health needs, physical disabilities and sensory impairment through nursing and residential care. The family-run group assesses each person’s needs before deciding what support, equipment and activities can be accommodated.
The home has an activities coordinator who arranges daily activities and regular trips out, alongside a monthly dementia café and links with local schools, police and charities. These connections add structure beyond personal care, while the wider group provides a monthly dementia café and community activities for residents.

Questions families ask
How much does Swallowfield Garden Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Swallowfield Garden Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Bolton council paid on average £891 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 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 Swallowfield Garden Care Home whether it takes residents funded by Bolton 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). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
