About Towneley House
Here at Towneley House, we provide residential and dementia care for older adults, younger adults, and those who need a short break through respite care, right in the heart of Burnley, Lancashire. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. Our aim is straightforward: to make sure every person who lives with us feels genuinely at home, comfortable in their surroundings, and supported in the ways that matter most to them. We take time to understand each person as an individual, learning about their routines, their preferences, and what brings them comfort and enjoyment day to day. Our team works hard to create an atmosphere that feels warm and familiar rather than clinical or institutional. Whether someone is joining us for a short respite stay or moving in on a permanent basis, we want the transition to feel as smooth and reassuring as possible, both for the person themselves and for their loved ones. We are proud to hold a good rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the consistent effort our staff put in every single day. It is something we work to maintain and build upon, always looking at how we can do things better. Our specialism in dementia care means we have developed an environment and an approach that supports people living with dementia to feel safe, understood, and as independent as possible. We apply that same thoughtful approach across everything we do, regardless of the type of care someone needs. If you are considering Towneley House for yourself or someone close to you, we would genuinely welcome the chance to show you around and answer any questions you might have. Please do get in touch.
