About Us

We are Meadowfold, a residential home near Blackburn offering short breaks and respite stays for people across Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley. We support older people and younger adults, including adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults and people with physical disabilities.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are proud of that and also clear about what it means. It is not a promise that nothing will ever go wrong here. It reflects the fact that we know the people who stay with us well, that our staff are properly supported, and that when something needs putting right we deal with it rather than explaining it away.

Short stays are what we are set up for, and that shapes everything. Somebody coming here for a few days has to settle quickly, and that only happens if we have done the groundwork first. So we ask a great deal beforehand: how somebody likes their day to run, what they eat, what they enjoy, and what tends to unsettle them. Then we keep to it.

Short breaks give family carers a genuine rest and give the person staying their own time away.

Please contact us to look round or discuss a stay.
