About Willowbank Lodge
Rehabilitation support is available at Willowbank Lodge alongside nursing care for older people, younger adults and people with physical disabilities. The setting is relevant to people who need a supported period of recovery as well as those requiring longer-term nursing accommodation.
The wider Manchester community care network includes nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers and other professionals. Care can be delivered in nursing homes and community settings, coordinated around individual needs. Willowbank Lodge therefore combines a nursing-home setting with a clear rehabilitation use case for people recovering after illness, injury or reduced independence.

Questions families ask
How much does Willowbank Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Willowbank Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Manchester council paid on average £1,016 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 Willowbank Lodge whether it takes residents funded by Manchester 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.
