About Florence Mill Care Home

Florence Mill Care Home brings together nursing care and community in Warrington, offering families a local option when looking for support for an older loved one. The team here understands that choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and that warmth and familiarity matter just as much as clinical expertise. With its roots in the local area, Florence Mill aims to feel like a place where residents can settle, feel known, and be well looked after.

Florence Mill provides nursing and personal care for up to 150 older adults, including those living with dementia, across four single-story units. At the time of inspection, 122 people were living in the home.

Inspectors found that while some improvements had been made to medicines management since the previous inspection, safety concerns remained. The home's governance systems had identified areas needing improvement but had not been robust enough to implement the necessary changes effectively.
