About Oldfield Manor
We are Oldfield Manor in Darwen, Blackburn with Darwen. We are a residential care home supporting older people, including people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions and people with sight or hearing loss. We also offer respite stays. A home supporting that range of people only works if it takes everybody individually, so each person here has their own plan, written with them, covering how they want to be supported and what they would rather manage alone. We would sooner change an arrangement that is not working than defend it. Day to day, people choose when they get up, what they eat, where they sit and how they spend their time. Some want the company of a busy lounge and others want quiet with their own door closed, and neither is treated as a difficulty. Families are welcome throughout the day, and we would far rather hear a concern early than have it saved up. Consistency of staffing is something we plan for deliberately. Familiar faces matter to everybody and matter enormously to people who find change hard. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep auditing our own practice, because a home is only as good as its last shift. If you are considering a care home in the Darwen area, please come and visit us on an ordinary day.
