About Lyndhurst Residential Care Home
Lyndhurst Residential Care Home is in Leigh, and we provide residential care for older people, for younger adults and for people living with dementia, along with respite stays for those who need a short break or whose family carer does. We are a home of a size where everyone knows everyone. Staff know which residents are early risers, who likes to sit where at lunch, who wants company and who would rather be left in peace with the crossword. That kind of knowledge is not written into any policy, but it is what makes a place feel liveable. When someone moves in we spend time on their history, work, family, places, music, faith, the things that shaped them. It helps us support people living with dementia, and it helps our staff see the person rather than the diagnosis. Meals are cooked here and residents tell us what they want on the menu. There are activities most days, but nobody is obliged to take part. Families are welcome at any reasonable hour and can join residents for a meal if they let the kitchen know. We keep in close contact with local GPs, district nurses and community health teams across Wigan so that changes in health are picked up quickly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Do come and see the home before you decide anything.
