About Swillbrook House Residential Home
Swillbrook House Residential Home is in Preston, providing residential care for older people who can no longer manage safely on their own, and supporting people living with a physical disability, people with sight or hearing loss and younger adults. We also support people living with eating disorders. We aim for the feel of a household rather than an institution, with people keeping their own routines, their own belongings and a genuine say in how their day goes. We support people living with dementia, where a steady and familiar routine is worth more than anything else we could offer, and where understanding what sits behind distress matters more than simply managing it. Respite stays are available too, for people who need care for a short period after illness and for family carers who need a proper break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. The better test is the everyday evidence, whether people are up and occupied, whether mealtimes are sociable and whether relatives feel able to raise a concern early.
