About Coniston House Care Home
Here at Coniston House Care Home, we provide residential and dementia care for older people in the heart of Chorley, Lancashire. We also offer respite care for those who need a short term stay, whether that is to recover after a hospital visit or to give a family carer some well earned rest. 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. From the moment someone walks through our doors, we want them to feel at ease. Our team takes time to get to know each person properly, understanding their routines, their preferences and the things that matter most to them, so that the care we provide feels personal rather than routine. For those living with dementia, we work hard to create an environment that feels calm, familiar and safe. We pay close attention to the little things, because we understand how much they can mean to someone whose world has become more confusing. Consistency and familiarity are at the heart of how we support our residents with dementia. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, which we are proud of, though we always look at where we can do better. That rating reflects the honest effort our team puts in every day, and we see it as encouragement to keep going rather than a reason to stand still. Whether someone is joining us for a short respite stay or making Coniston House their long term home, we want them and their loved ones to feel genuinely welcome here. Chorley is our community too, and being a trusted part of it means a great deal to us. We would always encourage families to come and visit so they can see for themselves what life here is like.
