About Ravenscroft Rest Home
We are Ravenscroft Rest Home in Preston, Lancashire. We provide residential care for older people, including those with a physical disability, and we also take respite stays. Residential care means supporting people with the everyday things that have become hard work: washing and dressing, meals, medication, getting about safely, and the company that makes a day worth getting up for. Where someone's health needs go beyond that, we work with district nurses and GPs rather than trying to cover it ourselves, and we are honest with families about where that line sits. For residents with a physical disability the important things are practical. Enough time that nothing feels rushed. Equipment set up properly. Being asked how a transfer is best done rather than being handled according to whatever the last carer did. Respite is a real part of what we do rather than an afterthought, whether it follows a hospital admission or gives a family carer a break. Guests get a proper assessment and the same care as anyone living here permanently. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
