We encourage our residents to furnish their own rooms as they wish. This could be as simple as hanging a couple of their favourite pictures on the wall, but they’re also welcome to bring their own comfy chair, or anything that makes them feel at home. The most important thing is for everyone to feel comfortable, happy and settled. We have a mix of room types including some with en suite shower rooms. If your loved one enjoys catching up with the latest news, sport, chat shows or soaps, there’s a TV point ready in the room and we have WiFi throughout the home. We have a call system which can be operated by a hand control or a pendant depending on personal preference. All floors are secured by keypad coding to ensure that residents are safe and secure at all times. |

Whether they flourish in a lively group activity or prefer to re-charge in the peaceful surroundings of one of our quiet spaces, our home is brimming with inspiration and potential. We support everybody’s individual choices, interests and hobbies and our passionate Community Coordinator loves keeping residents active and entertained. This provides a funpacked and stimulating schedule for people to participate in as they choose. There’s gardening, art and crafts, local community talks, external entertainers, trips, bingo, quizzes and church services, just to mention a few of the things we get up to. We also provide regular gentle exercise sessions and have close links with GP surgeries, district nurses and dentists. Our in-house hair salon keeps everyone looking their best and uplifting visits from pet therapy animals and volunteers from local schools keep us all young at heart. We’re committed to helping residents make the most of every single day. Seize The Day is our unique initiative to support residents to fulfil their ambitions and make dreams come true. Whether it be a ride on ‘The Big One’ at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, a trip in a fire engine, or a visit to the swimming pool; we will move mountains to make it happen.
