About Woodhill House Home for Older People

Woodhill House is a residential care home in Morecambe for older people. We support people who need help with daily living, including people living with dementia, and we also welcome younger adults. We take respite bookings for families needing a short break or a period of extra support after a stay in hospital. We aim to feel like a house rather than a unit. People keep their own belongings around them, choose how they spend the day, and are never hurried through the parts of it that take longer than they used to. Mealtimes matter here and we treat them as something to look forward to rather than something to get through. Relatives and friends are welcome throughout the day. Dementia care asks for consistency, so our staff learn the details that make somebody feel secure: the routines, the names, the times of day that are harder and the things that help. When needs change we say so early and talk it through with families rather than presenting them with a decision already made. Being by the bay is part of the appeal for many of our residents, and we make use of it. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking at residential or respite care in Morecambe, please arrange to visit.
