About St Andrews House

St Andrews House is a nursing home in Barnoldswick supporting adults with a physical disability who need qualified nursing alongside help with daily life, including many younger adults. That focus shapes the whole place. The people living here are not at the end of their lives; they have plans, interests and opinions, and our job is to make those possible rather than to manage them. Nurses are on duty day and night, so complex needs, medication, and conditions that need close monitoring are dealt with here rather than in hospital wherever possible. The right equipment is in place and our staff are trained to help with moving and positioning safely and comfortably, which for many residents is the difference between a good day and a painful one. Beyond the nursing, we support people to keep hold of an ordinary life: choosing when to get up, what to eat, what to do with the day, seeing friends and family, getting out and keeping up whatever somebody is involved in. Where a person wants to take decisions about their own care, we support that properly rather than nominally. Respite stays are available, which give family carers a genuine break and let us support somebody well for a short period. Please get in touch if you would like to visit, meet the nurses and see how the home runs.
