About Us

We at Alston View Nursing and Residential Home offer a warm and welcoming setting in Preston, providing dedicated nursing care for older people across Lancashire and the wider North West. Our home has been thoughtfully designed to feel less like an institution and more like a place where residents can truly settle, relax, and feel at ease.

Nestled within the PR area of Preston, our home benefits from a comfortable residential setting that balances peaceful surroundings with convenient access to the local community. Families visiting loved ones will find us easy to reach, and the familiar Lancashire landscape provides a reassuring backdrop for those who have called this region home for many years. Inside, we aim to create an atmosphere of comfort and calm, where residents can enjoy their own space whilst also benefiting from shared communal areas that encourage gentle social connection.

Our team specialises in a broad range of care needs, ensuring that we can support residents through many different stages of life. We provide older person care with genuine warmth and respect, recognising that each individual arrives with their own life story, preferences, and routines. Our nursing care is delivered by qualified professionals who work closely with residents and their families to manage complex health needs with dignity and compassion. For those living with dementia, our approach is centred on patience, familiarity, and person led support, helping residents feel safe and understood even when the world around them may feel confusing.

We also welcome individuals living with physical disabilities, offering tailored support that promotes independence wherever possible whilst providing assistance where it is needed. Our respite care option gives families much needed reassurance, whether they require short term support following a hospital stay, a break for a family carer, or a trial period before considering longer term arrangements. In practice, this breadth of specialism means that as a resident's needs evolve, we can continue to provide consistent, familiar care without the upheaval of moving elsewhere.

Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out in July 2021, resulted in an overall rating of Requires Improvement, with a Good rating in the Effective domain. We view this feedback as an important part of our ongoing commitment to raising standards, and we are open and honest with families about the areas we are working to strengthen. The Effective rating reflects the genuine skill and knowledge our team brings to daily care, and we continue to build on this foundation across every aspect of what we do. We believe transparency matters, and we welcome conversations with families about the steps being taken to improve.

Choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. If you are considering care for a loved one in the Preston area, we warmly invite you to get in touch, ask questions, and learn more about how we might support your family during this important chapter.
