Questions families ask
What is the minimum stay for respite care?
Respite care requires a minimum stay of 3 weeks. It can support someone recovering from illness, injury or an operation, or give an unpaid carer a break.
Can they arrange a trial stay before moving in?
Yes. Prospective residents can arrange a trial stay for a minimum of 3 weeks before deciding whether to move in permanently.
What happens if their care needs change?
Their care plan is assessed regularly and adapted when their needs change. The home works with each resident and their family to create a personalised plan.
What facilities are available for residents?
They provide an in-house hair salon, communal dining rooms, an activities programme, a bar, a cinema room and a private garden.
Can they cater for special diets and serve meals in residents’ rooms?
Yes. In-house chefs cater for dietary needs and dish modifications, with seasonal breakfast, lunch and dinner. Meals can be served in the dining area, residents’ rooms or the garden.
How much does Windmill Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Windmill Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Lancashire council paid on average £1,131 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.
