About Alston Lodge Community Care
We provide care at home in Preston and across Lancashire. Those we support include older adults, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, younger adults, and people whose lives have been affected by alcohol or drug use. That range means attitude matters as much as competence. Several of the people we work with have had experiences of being judged rather than helped, and a carer who arrives with opinions about how somebody came to need support is of no use to them at all. We recruit and train with that firmly in mind, and we supervise properly rather than hoping for the best. Our starting point is a proper conversation about what the person wants changed and what they would rather we left alone. Plans are agreed rather than issued, and we revisit them when circumstances shift, which they often do. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. We would rather treat that as a floor than quote it as a credential, and we make it easy for people to tell us when something has gone wrong, because the alternative is finding out much later from somebody else.
