About Abbeyfield Care Home

We are Abbeyfield Care Home Clitheroe, a residential care home in Clitheroe, Lancashire. We provide a home for older people, including those living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment, and we also offer respite stays. Residential care means supporting people with what has become difficult while leaving the rest of life where it belongs, which is with them. Washing and dressing, meals, medication, moving about safely, and the everyday company that makes a day worth having. For health needs beyond our registration we work with district nurses and GPs and we say so plainly rather than stretching to cover them. Where dementia and a sensory impairment sit together, it pays to check the simple explanation first. A good deal of what gets written down as confusion turns out to be a conversation nobody could hear properly. We try to get the environment and the communication right before drawing conclusions about the person. Respite guests are assessed and welcomed exactly as permanent residents are, whether they are recovering from illness or giving a family carer a break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
