Set within the FY postcode area of Lytham St Annes, our home benefits from its position in one of the North West's most cherished seaside communities. The town is well known for its peaceful promenade, characterful gardens, and friendly local atmosphere, all of which contribute to a calm and uplifting setting for later life. Residents and their loved ones can enjoy the gentle pace and pleasant surroundings that make Lytham St Annes such a special place to call home. Our specialism lies in residential care for older people, and this focus shapes every aspect of daily life at Rathmore Care Home. For our residents, this means thoughtful support with the everyday tasks that can become more challenging with age, delivered in a way that preserves dignity, independence, and personal choice. From assistance with personal care to help with medication, mealtimes, and mobility, we aim to provide just the right level of support so that each person can continue to live the life they choose. For families, it means peace of mind in knowing that a loved one is being looked after by people who genuinely care, in a setting designed to feel like home rather than an institution. We understand that moving into residential care is a significant step, and we work closely with relatives to ensure clear communication, regular involvement, and a shared sense of partnership in each resident's wellbeing. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission, carried out in August 2023, resulted in an overall rating of Requires Improvement. We were pleased to be rated Good in three important domains: Effective, Caring, and Responsive. These ratings reflect the warmth of our team, the personalised approach we take to each resident's needs, and the way we respond to the things that matter most to the people in our care. At the same time, we recognise that the domains of Safe and Well-led were rated as Requires Improvement, and we take this feedback seriously. We are committed to learning, improving, and strengthening our practices so that every aspect of life at Rathmore Care Home reaches the standard our residents and their families deserve. Continuous improvement is an ongoing journey, and we welcome the opportunity to demonstrate the progress we are making. If you are exploring residential care options for an older relative in Lytham St Annes or the wider Fylde coast area, we would be delighted to hear from you. Choosing the right home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we encourage you to get in touch, ask questions, and arrange a visit so you can see our home for yourself and meet the people who would be caring for your loved one.
