About Lavender Hills Care Home

Lavender Hills Care Home is a residential care home in Bury, caring for older people from across the town and the surrounding parts of Lancashire and Greater Manchester. We provide permanent residential places and planned respite stays, and we support residents living with dementia. We aim for a home that feels domestic rather than institutional. Residents keep their own routines as far as they can, meals are a real part of the day with an alternative always available, and there is time here for a proper conversation. People are encouraged to bring their own furniture and pictures, because a room only becomes yours once your own things are in it. Dementia care begins with knowing the person. A resident's working life, their family, their habits and what has always comforted them tell us far more about how to support them than any general guidance could. When someone becomes unsettled we look for the reason rather than reaching for a routine response, and we usually find it in something specific. Respite stays give family carers a genuine break and give guests a real welcome into the life of the house rather than a spare bed at the edge of it. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection, and we keep asking residents and their families what could be better. You are very welcome to visit us on an ordinary day.
