Questions families ask
How much does Willow Brook Respite at Douglas Road cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Willow Brook Respite at Douglas Road for its weekly fee. As a guide, Staffordshire council paid on average £1,062 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
