About Abode

We at Abode are a residential care home based in the heart of Poulton le Fylde, Lancashire, offering dedicated residential and dementia care for older people and younger adults across the Fylde coast and wider North West community. Nestled within the FY postcode area, our home benefits from the welcoming character of Poulton le Fylde, a market town known for its friendly community atmosphere and convenient local amenities. Our setting provides residents with a comfortable base from which to enjoy familiar surroundings, whilst offering families the peace of mind that comes with a location that is easy to visit and well connected to the surrounding Lancashire area. Our care approach is built around the individual needs of each person who lives with us. As a residential care home, we support older people who require assistance with daily living, alongside younger adults whose circumstances mean they benefit from a supportive residential environment. Our dementia care provision is delivered with patience and understanding, recognising that every person living with dementia has their own story, preferences, and routines that deserve to be respected. For families who need short term support, our respite care option offers a valuable opportunity for loved ones to receive quality care in a warm setting, whether following a hospital stay, during a family holiday, or simply to provide carers with a well earned break. In practice, this breadth of specialism means residents and their relatives can expect continuity of support as needs change over time. Families often tell us that knowing their loved one is somewhere familiar, with people who understand them, makes an enormous difference during what can be a difficult transition into care. We wish to be transparent about our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection, which took place on 6 June 2025 and resulted in an overall rating of Inadequate. The inspection also rated us as Inadequate for Safe and Well led, and as Requires Improvement across the Effective, Caring, and Responsive domains. We recognise the seriousness of these findings and are committed to working openly with residents, families, and the regulator to make the improvements needed. We believe families deserve honesty about where a home stands today, alongside a clear commitment to doing better tomorrow, and we welcome conversations with anyone who would like to understand more about the steps being taken. If you are exploring care options for a loved one and would like to learn more about life at Abode, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we are here to answer your questions honestly, listen to your concerns, and help you decide whether our home is the right fit for the person you love.
