About Croft House Rest Home
Croft House Rest Home is a residential care home in Preston, Lancashire. We offer a permanent home to older people and to some younger adults, and we also provide respite stays for people who need care for a short period or whose regular carer needs a rest. The people who live here need different things from us. Many need help with personal care, mobility, medication and meals. A number are living with dementia, and for them we keep the day familiar, keep the same staff around and work at their pace. We also support adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, and people with physical disabilities, where equipment, seating and access decide how much somebody can do independently. We should be honest about our standing. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather set that out plainly than have you come across it elsewhere. We understand what the inspectors told us, we are working through it, and we will discuss any of it with anybody considering a place here or already living with us. What we are working towards is a house that feels like a home: food cooked here that people actually want, somewhere quiet as well as somewhere sociable, and visitors welcome without an appointment. Please come and see us and ask us anything.
