About Lowfield house

Lowfield House is a residential care home in Clitheroe, and we provide a home for older people who need support with daily living, including those living with dementia, those with physical disabilities and those living with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are available too, planned or at short notice. Most of what makes a care home bearable or good is ordinary detail rather than anything grand. What time you like to get up. Whether you want company at meals or would rather read in peace. Which chair is yours. We help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility, doing it quietly and leaving as much privacy and as much choice with the resident as we can. Where somebody can still manage a task themselves, that is theirs to keep. Dementia care is a significant part of our work. We keep the daily rhythm and surroundings steady, give people time rather than hurrying them, and take trouble to learn about earlier life, since knowing that someone worked in the mills or walked the fells every Sunday tells us a great deal when words become unreliable. For residents living with sight or hearing loss, unhurried communication and a well arranged environment matter more than anything else. Respite bookings are planned as carefully as permanent moves, because a break only rests anybody if the person here is genuinely settled. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and see us on an ordinary day and ask us whatever you like.
