About Fleetwood Nursing Home

Fleetwood Nursing Home brings a sense of warmth and familiarity to care in Lancashire, offering families a place where their loved ones can feel genuinely at home. The team here understands how significant this decision is, and that commitment to thoughtful, personalised care runs through everything they do. For families taking those first steps toward finding the right nursing support, Fleetwood aims to be a reassuring and welcoming presence throughout the journey.

This nursing home accommodates up to 30 older people, including those with mental health conditions. Currently 20 residents use the service. The property spans two floors with lift access and features several communal areas and a large rear garden.

Aids and adaptations are in place to support individual needs.

Relatives feel residents are safe, and the registered manager responds well to concerns. However, fire safety measures do not consistently align with guidance and some information conflicts. The home needs to address potential environmental hazards and increase staff training in key subjects required to maintain safety standards.
