Questions families ask
Do they provide short-term rehabilitation care?
Yes. They provide 24-hour intermediate residential care for up to 30 service users who need continued care and rehabilitation but no longer need hospital treatment.

Yes. The unit aims to help service users regain independence and return home after rehabilitation and recuperation, while supporting decisions about longer-term needs if home is no longer possible.
How much does Wilfred Geere House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Wilfred Geere House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Bolton council paid on average £895 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.
