   • Care Home

   Hollymount is a residential and dementia care home in Blackburn. Those living here include older people, many living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities. We also offer respite stays. We judge ourselves by unglamorous measures. How long people wait for help. Whether anybody eats alone who would rather not. Whether the same faces are on shift often enough to notice a change in somebody. Supporting somebody with dementia means keeping things steady and familiar, and knowing their history well enough to follow where their mind has gone. The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us requires improvement. We would rather say that here than have somebody find it and wonder what else we omitted. We accept the findings and are working on them. Where somebody has a faith, we make it practical rather than nominal: time, quiet, and help getting to whatever matters to them. We try to keep people connected to the life they had. Post opened when they want it, phone calls made, and trips out arranged where they are wanted. Anybody considering us should come without an appointment, talk to residents and relatives away from staff, and press us for specifics about what has changed and what has not yet.

   • Care Home

   Hawkhurst is a residential care home in Blackburn supporting older people, including many living with dementia, and adults living with mental health needs. We support some younger residents and we offer respite stays. We run the home as a household. People get up when they are ready, eat what they want and spend the day as they choose. Staff take trouble to learn residents' histories, their families and working lives and what they still care about, because good care depends on knowing a person rather than a set of needs. Dementia care takes up much of our attention. We keep routines familiar, the building calm and the staffing as consistent as we can, and we follow the person rather than correcting them, since correcting someone rarely helps and often distresses them. When a resident is unsettled we look for what lies behind it instead of treating the behaviour as the problem. For residents living with mental health needs we pay attention to early signs that things are shifting and act on them, working with community teams rather than around them, and keeping the person part of the conversation about their own care. Respite guests are part of the household while they are here. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. If you would like to visit, please get in touch and we will arrange it.

   • Care Home

   Acorn House Care Centre is a residential care home in Blackburn, and we look after older people who need daily support, including those living with dementia. We also take people for respite stays, whether that is a planned break for a family carer or a period of recovery after illness. We are not a nursing home, so what we offer is everyday life properly supported. Our staff help with washing, dressing, mobility and medication, and they do it without rushing anybody. Meals are cooked here and served at sociable hours, with alternatives for people who would rather have something else. Laundry and housekeeping are taken care of, and there are staff awake through the night. When health needs come up we work with the local general practice, district nurses and therapists so that people are seen quickly and, where possible, without leaving the home. Dementia care here rests on familiarity. We keep routines steady, help people find their way around by using the surroundings rather than signs alone, and follow a person's own version of the day rather than arguing with it. Families tell us about the life somebody has led, and that turns out to be some of the most useful information we hold. Relatives and friends are part of the home rather than visitors to be managed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and see the place for yourself before you decide anything.

   • Care Home

   We are a residential care home in Blackburn supporting older people and younger adults who need help with daily living, including those living with dementia, people with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with loss of sight or hearing. Supporting that range means paying attention to individuals rather than to categories. Some of the people here need a good deal of help with personal care, medication and moving about. Others need much less of that and a great deal more support with everything else: keeping to arrangements, managing anxiety, getting out of the house and having staff who know when to step in and when to leave well alone. Residents keep their own rooms, belongings and routines as far as we can manage, and they decide how much they want to be part of whatever is happening. Meals are cooked here and we listen when somebody would rather have something different. Where somebody is living with dementia we spend time learning their history and habits, because knowing the person is what settles them when they are frightened. Family and friends are welcome whenever they wish to come. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please come and look round and ask us whatever you need to.

   • Care Home

   We are Ravenswing Manor Residential Care Home in Blackburn. We look after older people, including those living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment, and we also support younger adults. Respite stays are available. We aim for something domestic rather than institutional. People bring their own furniture and pictures, keep their own habits, and decide for themselves how their day runs. What time you wake, where you eat, whether you want company or would rather sit quietly: those are your decisions and they stay that way. A great deal of what makes a day here good is quite unremarkable, and we would rather describe it plainly than make grand claims. For people living with dementia we work with the person as they are now. Knowing their history, recognising early what tends to unsettle them and having the patience to go at their pace prevents a lot of distress before it begins. Where somebody has a physical disability or a sight or hearing impairment, we give proper attention to access and communication, so those needs do not come to dominate the day. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Relatives are welcome at any reasonable hour, and we would always rather hear a concern early. Please ring us to arrange a visit.

   • Care Home

   Branch Court Care Home is a residential home in Blackburn for older people, including those living with dementia, residents with a physical disability and some younger adults whose needs suit a home of this kind. We help with washing and dressing, medication, meals and whatever else has become difficult, and we leave people in charge of the rest. Residents decide when they get up and go to bed, where they spend the day, what they eat and whether they want company or a quiet afternoon on their own. For residents living with dementia we keep the house familiar and the staff consistent, explain what is happening as we go and take time to work out what lies behind a change in mood rather than treating it as a symptom. Where somebody has a physical disability the right equipment is in place and staff are trained to help with moving safely and comfortably, without fuss and without taking over. Meals are cooked here and we ask people what they actually want to eat. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable time, and families are free to stay for a cup of tea or take a relative out for the afternoon. Respite stays are available for family carers needing a break or for somebody regaining strength after illness. Please ring us if you would like to come and look round properly.

   • Care Home

   Andrews Court Care Home provides residential care in Blackburn for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. We also take planned respite stays. Our aim is that people carry on being themselves here, with the help they need arranged quietly around them. Residents choose when to get up, what to wear, where to sit and who to spend time with, and our staff know those preferences well enough not to have to ask twice. Practically we help with personal care, medicines, meals and all the business of running the place. For residents living with dementia, familiarity does most of the work. The same faces, a recognisable day, and time to do things at the pace somebody can manage. We work with what a person can still do rather than treating a diagnosis as the whole story. Where somebody has a physical disability, we agree together how they want to be helped, which is usually rather different from how a manual would describe it. Respite stays give family carers a genuine break and let people try us without any longer commitment. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. What matters more day to day is what residents and relatives tell us, so we ask them regularly.

   • Care Home

   Hazeldene is a residential care home in Blackburn supporting older people, including many who are living with dementia, alongside respite guests who stay with us for shorter periods. We try to run the home the way a household runs. People get up in their own time, choose where they sit and what they do, and keep the routines they have had for years wherever we possibly can. Staff spend time learning those routines, because a person who has taken sugar in their tea and read the paper at the same hour for fifty years should not have to give that up on arriving here. Dementia care is a large part of what we do and we approach it patiently. We follow the person rather than correcting them, we keep surroundings calm and familiar, and we notice what settles someone when they are anxious. Families often know these things better than anyone, so we ask and we listen rather than assuming we will work it out ourselves. Respite stays are welcome. They give family carers a proper break and they give the person staying warmth, company and good food for a while. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. If you are looking at care homes around Blackburn, come and visit. Turn up, have a cup of tea, talk to the people who live here and see whether it feels right for your relative.

   • Care Home

   Mill Lodge Residential Care Home is in Blackburn. We provide care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss, and we offer respite stays. We try to run a household rather than a facility. Residents bring their own furniture and photographs, keep the routines they have always had and decide for themselves how much they want to be part of what is going on. Nobody is walked to an activity they have not chosen. When somebody moves in we take real time over their history and preferences and we write it down so that every member of staff knows it, because care that changes with whoever is on shift is not care we would accept for our own families. Dementia support rests on familiarity and pace. We keep staffing as consistent as we can, avoid unnecessary change and work out what settles a particular resident. Supporting mental health needs means patience and working alongside community teams. Where sight or hearing is failing we pay attention to lighting, contrast, signage and sound, and we check that glasses and hearing aids are being used and looked after. Meals are cooked on the premises and residents have a genuine say in the menu. Visitors are welcome through the day. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and see the home and talk to the people living in it.

    • Care Home

    Townfield and Coach House is a residential care home in Blackburn, Lancashire. We support older people who need help with daily life, including many living with dementia, and people with physical disabilities. We also offer respite stays. We are a home of a size where everybody is properly known, and that is the basis of everything else. Our team notices when somebody eats less than usual, sleeps badly, seems low or becomes unsteady on their feet, and it is acted on the same day rather than at a review in a month's time. Residents run their own days. When to get up and go to bed, what to eat, whether to sit with others or keep to their own room with their own things around them. Rooms hold people's own furniture and photographs, and nobody comes in without knocking. For residents living with dementia, consistency is what helps most, so we keep staffing settled and learn each person's history properly, which lets us make sense of what they are telling us. Where somebody has a physical disability, we work around what they can still do rather than taking over. Health needs are managed alongside local GPs and community nurses, and families hear from us early when anything changes. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please come and visit us in Blackburn.
