About (Florence House)
Florence House is a residential care home in Blackburn. We support older people, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss, including younger adults, and we offer both permanent places and respite stays. We support a broad range of needs, which is deliberate rather than accidental. People do not arrive with a single label, and we would rather build support around an individual than turn somebody away because their needs sit across two categories. For an older resident that may mean unhurried help with personal care, safe support with moving about and medication given properly. For an adult with a learning disability or an autistic adult it may mean a predictable routine, clear information given in good time and support to get out to a job or a course. For somebody living with mental ill health it may mean a settled, low pressure place to live and close work with the community team. Where physical disability or sensory loss is part of the picture, equipment, access and how we communicate all get real attention. Every plan is written with the individual and reviewed properly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please arrange to visit and see how the house runs.
