About DIL Home ()
We at DIL Home (Thornton-Cleveleys) offer residential care in the welcoming coastal town of Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, providing a warm and supportive home for older people, younger adults, and those living with dementia or physical disabilities. Nestled within the FY postcode area on the Fylde coast, our home benefits from the gentle pace and fresh sea air that this part of the North West is known for. Thornton-Cleveleys offers a peaceful yet connected setting, giving residents the comfort of a close community whilst remaining within easy reach of family and friends across Lancashire. Our care is shaped around each person who lives with us. As a residential care home, we support daily living with dignity and kindness, whether that means a helping hand with personal care, companionship throughout the day, or gentle encouragement to enjoy the small pleasures that make a house feel like a home. For residents living with dementia, we provide a familiar, calm environment where routines, reassurance, and patient understanding help to reduce anxiety and preserve a sense of self. Families can take comfort in knowing that their loved one is cared for by people who genuinely value each individual's story. We also welcome younger adults and those with physical disabilities, recognising that care needs vary widely and that independence, choice, and personal identity matter at every stage of life. Our respite care option gives family carers a much needed opportunity to rest, recharge, or simply attend to other commitments, knowing their relative is in safe and attentive hands for a short stay with us. Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out in July 2023, resulted in an overall rating of Requires Improvement. Within that assessment, we were rated Good for being Effective, Caring, and Responsive, a reflection of the compassion and attentiveness our team brings to daily life here. The areas identified as Requires Improvement, namely Safe and Well-led, are ones we take seriously, and we are committed to strengthening these areas so that every aspect of life at our home meets the high standards our residents and their families rightly expect. Choosing a care home is one of the most personal decisions a family can make, and we understand the questions and emotions that come with it. If you are exploring options for a loved one in Thornton-Cleveleys or the wider Fylde area, we warmly invite you to get in touch, ask questions, and visit us to see whether our home feels right for your family.
