About Abbeycroft Residential Care Home

Abbeycroft Residential Care Home has been providing residential care to older adults in Lancashire for those families looking for a place that feels genuinely homely and supportive. The team there understands how important it is to find somewhere that not only meets practical care needs but also feels warm and welcoming from the moment you walk through the door. If you are exploring care options in the Lancashire area, Abbeycroft may be worth a visit to see the environment for yourself and speak with the staff directly.

This residential care home accommodates up to 33 people, predominantly older adults and those living with dementia. At inspection, 28 residents were in residence. People reported feeling safe and expressed satisfaction with the service provided.

Staff demonstrated knowledge of safeguarding procedures and how to protect people from harm or discrimination. Staffing levels were sufficient to meet residents' needs. However, the home lacked a dependency tool to systematically monitor whether staffing remained appropriately matched to changing care requirements.

Inspectors identified shortfalls in risk management and governance systems that require attention.
