About Middleton Fells
Here at Middleton Fells, we are a residential care home based in Carnforth, in the heart of Westmorland and Furness. We support adults with learning disabilities and autism, including younger adults, and we offer both long term residential placements and shorter respite stays for those who need a break or a period of additional support. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a person or their family will ever make. Our aim is to make sure that everyone who comes through our doors feels genuinely welcome, safe and at home. We take the time to get to know each person properly, not just their care needs but their personality, their interests, their routines and the things that matter most to them. That knowledge shapes everything we do. Life at Middleton Fells is built around the individual. We work closely with residents, their families and any other professionals involved in their care to make sure our support reflects what each person actually wants from their day to day life. Whether someone needs a high level of hands on support or simply some companionship and a comfortable, stable environment, we adapt to them rather than expecting them to fit around us. Our location in Carnforth gives us access to a friendly local community and the surrounding countryside, both of which we make the most of. Getting out, staying connected and having meaningful things to do are just as important as the practical side of care. For families looking at respite care, we are happy to talk through what that might look like and how we can make the transition as straightforward as possible for your loved one. If you would like to find out more or arrange a visit, please do get in touch. We would love to hear from you.
