About The Arc
The Arc provides residential intermediate care for people who need a short stay to avoid hospital admission or as part of discharge after a hospital stay. Its registered nursing-home scope includes dementia, physical disabilities, mental health needs and other complex support requirements.
The service is centred on a transitional period rather than a permanent move, helping people receive care while their next step is arranged. It forms part of Blackpool Council adult services, making it relevant to people seeking a council-supported intermediate-care route.

Questions families ask
How much does The Arc cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Arc for its weekly fee. As a guide, Blackpool council paid on average £901 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 The Arc whether it takes residents funded by Blackpool 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.
