About Whalley Road
Whalley Road is a residential care home in Accrington, Lancashire. We support older people and younger adults, including people who live with mental health conditions, and we offer respite stays for those who need care for a shorter period. Our starting point is that people should carry on running their own lives as far as they are able. Residents choose their own routines, keep their possessions around them and have a genuine say in how the house works and what goes on the menu. Staff step in where support is genuinely needed and step back where it is not, which sounds simple but takes attention and a bit of discipline to get right. For residents living with a mental health condition, stability is what we offer above all: a settled base, staff who are calm and consistent, and a team who notice early when somebody is becoming unwell. We support people to manage their medication where they can, to keep appointments, to hold on to relationships and to pursue work, study or interests. We work alongside community mental health teams and local health colleagues rather than separately from them. Day to day we also help with washing, dressing, meals, mobility and continence at whatever level each person needs, and we involve GPs and district nurses promptly when health changes. Families are welcome here and we would much rather hear a concern early than late. If you are considering the home for yourself or a relative, please arrange to come and look round.
