About Middleshaw Hills Care Home
Middleshaw Hills 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 with a physical disability. We think of ourselves as part of the town rather than a building set apart from it. People who move in have usually lived locally for years, and keeping those threads intact matters more than most brochures admit: the same newspaper, the same church, visitors who can walk round rather than make an expedition of it. Day to day the work is practical. Personal care given calmly and privately. Medication managed properly. Meals cooked here and served at a table. Help to move about safely for those who need it, with the right equipment and staff who know how each person prefers to be assisted. Beyond that we try to leave as much as possible in people's own hands, because choosing when to get up, what to wear and how to spend an afternoon is not a small matter when a great deal else has been taken away. Dementia runs through much of what we do. Familiarity and calm work; correction does not. Relatives usually hold the detail that unlocks a difficult hour and we ask for it at the start. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. The most useful thing you can do is turn up, have a cup of tea and talk to the people who live here.

More about the care at Middleshaw Hills Care Home
Dementia Care at Middleshaw Hills Care Home
Correction does not work and familiarity does, which is how this home sums up its approach to dementia, adding that relatives usually hold the detail that unlocks a difficult hour. Dementia care is on the Clitheroe registration, and since the CQC has not yet inspected the service there is no rating to measure that against. What generally matters is consistent staff, a calm and unhurried house, a layout somebody can find their way around and a steady response as the condition advances. Ask how distress is handled on a bad afternoon and what is done if a resident tries to leave. Ask also what dementia training staff receive and when care is reviewed.
Residential Care at Middleshaw Hills Care Home
Lancashire council usually pays about £650 to £800 a week, while indicative North West fees run from £800 to £1050, and that difference shapes most conversations about a place. Residential registration covers everyday living support without nursing, so meals, personal care, help with medication and company are included but no qualified nurse is on site. Wound care or an unstable condition would point towards a nursing home instead. Up to 66 people can live at this Clitheroe home. Ask what happens if a resident's health moves beyond residential care, and who meets any gap between the council rate and the home's own fee.
Older Person Care at Middleshaw Hills Care Home
The same newspaper and the same church, with visitors who can walk round rather than make an expedition of it, are what this home says it tries to keep intact for people who have lived in Clitheroe for years. Day to day the work it describes is personal care given calmly and privately, medication managed properly, and meals cooked on the premises and served at a table. Middleshaw Hills Care Home also says it leaves as much as possible in people's own hands, including when to get up and how to spend an afternoon. Ask how many staff are on duty overnight and what they are trained to do. Ask as well how a routine is recorded and reviewed.
Younger Adults at Middleshaw Hills Care Home
Sixty six places are registered here, and younger adults are listed alongside older person and dementia care. Where most residents are a good deal older, somebody under 65 can find little in the week aimed at them. Ask who of a similar age lives at the home now, and how their day is arranged.
Physical Disability at Middleshaw Hills Care Home
The right equipment and staff who know how each person prefers to be assisted are what this home names where a physical disability is involved. Access between bedroom, dining room and garden decides how much of the building a resident actually uses.
