About Care Home
Clitheroe Care Home is a residential care home in Clitheroe, supporting older people and younger adults from across Lancashire, including people living with dementia and people who have a physical disability. We will deal with the rating first, because you will find it anyway. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to talk around it. Inspectors found things that were not good enough, we accept the findings rather than dispute them, and we are working through what was identified. If you are considering us for somebody you love, ask us directly what was raised and what has changed since, and expect a proper answer rather than reassurance. The purpose of the home is unchanged. Food cooked in our own kitchen that people want to eat. Personal care given calmly and in private. Medication managed properly. Warm rooms that look like somebody's own. Staff awake at night. A day with enough shape to be worth getting up for, and no obligation to join in with anything. For residents with a physical disability, the right equipment and staff who know each person's preferred way of being helped to move keep a life from shrinking to the size of a chair. With dementia we work on familiar faces and a calm house rather than correction. Come and see the place at a busy time of day, and judge it as it is now.

More about the care at Care Home
Dementia Care at Care Home
Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital is 9.6 miles away in a straight line, a fair journey from Clitheroe. Dementia care is on this home's registration, and the usual essentials are familiar staff, a calm house and a day that holds its shape. With 28 places the building is small enough for faces to become familiar, though that depends on staffing. Since the published report dates from July 2022, the position now is something to establish by asking. Ask how distress is handled and whether any part of the home is secured. Ask how the plan changes as dementia advances and who reviews it.
Residential Care at Care Home
A food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 is the top mark, shared here by 14 of the 15 local homes that hold one. Residential care means everyday living support without nursing on site, so meals, personal care, medication and activity fall to care staff. The GP and district nurses cover clinical needs, which separates it from a nursing home. Twenty eight places put Clitheroe Care Home below the local average of 41 and smaller than 13 of the 18 homes. North West fees commonly sit between £800 and £1050 a week, while Lancashire usually pays about £650 to £800. Ask who would make up the difference on a council funded placement.
Older Person Care at Care Home
The published overall rating is requires improvement, from an inspection on 7 July 2022, since when 5 of the 18 homes nearby have reported again. A new registration took effect on 18 September 2026 under RVB Transcendence, so the rating may relate to a previous provider and should not be credited to this one. Older person care is on the registration, covering help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and company. The home says food is cooked in its own kitchen, personal care given calmly and in private, and staff awake at night. It asks to be questioned directly about what inspectors raised and what has changed.
Younger Adults at Care Home
Twelve of the 18 homes locally are rated Good or Outstanding, against 74 per cent across Lancashire. Younger adults are on this home's registration, though in 28 places most residents will be older. Someone under 65 usually wants different hours, company and activity. Ask who of that age lives there and what their week contains.
Physical Disability at Care Home
Clitheroe Station, a surgery and a dentist all lie within 0.4 miles of the home. Physical disability is among its registered categories, and the home names the right equipment and staff who know each person's preferred way of being helped to move.
