About Us

The Kingfisher Care Home is a residential care home in Thornton Cleveleys. We look after older people who need daily care and support, including many people living with dementia.

Our aim is a house that feels like a home rather than a facility. People get up when they wake, eat what they actually like, and spend their days as they choose, whether in company or quietly with a newspaper. For someone living with dementia, familiar faces, meals at expected times and routines that hold together do more good than anything complicated, and so does having enough time in the day that nobody is hurried through anything. Families are welcome whenever they want to come, and we would far rather have relatives in and out as part of ordinary life than visiting formally.

We also offer respite stays, for a family carer needing a rest or for somebody recovering after a spell in hospital before going home again.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. It matters to us, though the question we ask ourselves more often is whether somebody looks settled and content a month after moving in.

If you would like to look round, please ring us and come at a time that suits you. You are welcome to see the home on an ordinary day.
