About Gillibrand Hall Nursing Care Home

Gillibrand Hall Nursing Care Home brings a sense of warmth and familiarity to nursing care in Lancashire, offering families a place where their loved ones can feel genuinely at home. The team here understands how important it is to find the right care setting, and their dedication to getting to know each resident personally shines through in the day-to-day life of the home. For families in Lancashire and the surrounding area, Gillibrand Hall represents a caring community where residents are treated as individuals.

This nursing care home accommodates 47 residents in a listed building spread across two floors, with spacious communal areas and outdoor space available. The service provides personal and nursing care to people who require this level of support.

Staff who regularly work at the home knew residents well and provided familiar care. However, there were concerns about the effectiveness of medicine management systems, putting people at risk. Agency staff did not have the same level of knowledge about residents' needs.

The fire service identified actions needed to improve fire safety at the home, and work on these improvements was underway. Despite these issues, residents and their relatives reported feeling safe.
