About Berwick House Rest Home

Berwick House Rest Home is a care home in Blackpool. We provide residential care for older people and younger adults, we support people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather set that out at the start than let a family find it later. The inspection identified things that were not good enough for the people living here, and we have accepted that. Anyone considering us should ask precisely what was found and precisely what has changed since, and should not settle for a general answer. What we are working towards is straightforward. A home where residents decide how their own day runs, where rooms belong to the people in them, where visitors come when it suits them, and where staff know the people they support properly. For those living with dementia, familiarity carries most of the weight: the same faces, a recognisable rhythm and a team who take the trouble to learn a person's history. Please visit before deciding anything, read the inspection report in full and judge the home on what you find.
