About Arrowsmith Lodge Rest Home

Arrowsmith Lodge Rest Home sits in Hoghton, and we care for older people from across this part of Lancashire. Residents living with dementia are a large part of our household, we support people living with mental ill health and adults with physical disabilities, we work with people recovering from eating disorders, and we take respite guests. A rest home ought to feel restful, and that is mostly about not being hurried. Help offered at somebody's own pace, meals that are worth sitting down to rather than merely nutritious, and staff who have been here long enough to know that one resident hates being woken and another is up with the birds. Where eating disorders are part of someone's history, mealtimes need handling with tact and absolute consistency, and everyone in the team needs to be doing the same thing. That is a matter of training and communication rather than good intentions, and we treat it accordingly. The countryside around us is worth using, and a short walk or simply sitting out in decent weather does more for a week than most organised activities. Respite is available for families who need a break and for people who need extra support for a few weeks. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and see the place before you decide anything.
