About The Elton Unit
Slow-stream neurorehabilitation and complex neurological care are the focus at The Elton Unit, a 28-bedded specialist care home for adults aged 18 and over with brain injury. Its registered service supports adults with nursing needs linked to physical disabilities and sensory impairment.
The unit forms part of Priory, but its local role is specifically centred on brain injury care rather than the provider’s unrelated addiction and general mental health programmes. It offers a structured residential setting for adults requiring specialist support, with 28 beds for adults aged 18 and over.

Questions families ask
How much does The Elton Unit cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Elton Unit for its weekly fee. As a guide, Bury council paid on average £991 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 Elton Unit whether it takes residents funded by Bury 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.
