About Holywell Home

Holywell Home is a residential care home in Morecambe. We support older people and also adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and younger adults, and we offer respite stays. Having people of different ages and needs under one roof suits us, and it works because we do not run the home to a single pattern. Older residents often enjoy the company and a bit of life about the place, and younger residents benefit from a household rather than an institution. The trick is not assuming everyone wants the same things. Meals, routines, outings and how much say a person wants over their own decisions are worked out individually. For residents with a learning disability or who are autistic, we think about the environment itself as part of the support. Noise, lighting, how predictable the day is and whether there is somewhere quiet to retreat to all affect how a day turns out. We also learn how each person communicates, including those who use little or no speech. Being in Morecambe, the bay and the seafront are close, and a change of scene is easy to arrange. Trips out are part of the ordinary week. Respite stays give families a break and give the person staying somewhere settled to come to. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit Holywell and ask us whatever you need to.
