What Lancashire pays for a care home place

£845 a week£123 less than the middle council in England (£968), the 112th highest of 152.
Nursing care, over-65s, 2024-25
£1,131 a week£46 more than the middle council in England (£1,085), the 58th highest of 151.

This is what the council spent, averaged over every placement it paid for, not a fee anyone is quoted. People paying for themselves are usually charged more: the Competition and Markets Authority found a 41% gap on average in 2017. Nursing figures exclude NHS-funded nursing care, which the NHS pays to the home on top. Source: Department of Health and Social Care, Adult social care finance report 2024-25. Every council compared
