About Rushley House Retirement Home

Rushley House Retirement Home is in Morecambe, Lancashire. We offer older people a settled, permanent home, and we also provide respite stays for those who need care for a short period or whose family carer needs a break. The help people need from us is mostly practical: getting up and dressed, a bath or a shower, moving about safely, medication given properly and on time, and meals worth looking forward to, with somebody nearby through the night. Beyond that, what matters is that this feels like somebody's home rather than a place they have been put. We have found that the residents who settle best are the ones who keep hold of their own habits, so we ask about those habits early and work around them instead of asking people to fit our routine. Days here run at a gentle pace. There is breakfast when people are ready for it, food cooked on the premises, newspapers, cards, music, visits from the hairdresser and trips out along the bay when the weather allows. Nobody is obliged to join in with anything, and families visit as often as they like and are welcome at mealtimes. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering a move for yourself or a relative, please ring and arrange to come and look round.
