About Church View Residential Home

Church View Residential Home is a residential care home in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, providing a home for older people who need support with everyday living. People come to us for different reasons. For some, looking after a house had become too much. For others, an illness or a fall changed what was realistic. Whatever brought somebody here, our aim is that they come to think of this as their home. Residents bring their own belongings, keep their own routines and decide how their days go, while our staff look after what has become difficult, including personal care, medication, meals and laundry. A number of the people living with us have dementia. What helps most is keeping things familiar, giving people time to answer, and knowing enough about someone's life to be genuine company rather than merely efficient. Respite stays are available, whether a family carer needs a planned break or somebody needs support for a few weeks after being unwell. We should be open with you about our regulator. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We do not think that is good enough. We have taken it seriously, there is work under way to put things right, and we would rather say so plainly than leave families to find out later. Please come and see Church View for yourself. Ring us, arrange a time, look round properly and ask us the difficult questions.
