About Mercer Moors

Mercer Moors is a nursing and residential setting in Accrington in Lancashire. We care for older people and younger adults, including people who need nursing support, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are available too. Being able to offer both residential and nursing care under one roof matters more than it sounds. It means somebody whose health changes does not automatically have to move, and that a person can stay among people and surroundings they know at exactly the point that continuity counts for most. Families frequently tell us this was the thing that mattered to them in the end. Having qualified nurses on site means wounds, pain, continence, nutrition, medication and safe movement are all managed properly, and a good deal that might otherwise involve hospital does not have to. We also guard against clinical care quietly reducing a person to a round of tasks. People choose when they get up, what they wear, what is on the plate and how the afternoon goes. We knock, we explain what we are about to do, and we wait to be told it is all right. Where sight or hearing loss is part of the picture the small habits carry the weight. We have not yet been given an overall rating by the Care Quality Commission. You are welcome to visit and ask us whatever you need to.
