Is Treatment at Atherleigh Park Free?
Care at Atherleigh Park is NHS-funded through Greater Manchester Mental Health’s commissioned services, meaning treatment arranged this way carries no fee for the patient or family. As an NHS site, Atherleigh Park works on a different funding basis than a private psychiatric hospital.
Private dementia or mental health admissions are priced by the individual provider rather than on a fixed scale, so that route needs a direct enquiry to a private provider. Questions about funding for Atherleigh Park are best directed to the trust.
