About Clifton Lawns

Clifton Lawns is a nursing home in Darwen, in Blackburn with Darwen. We provide nursing care for older people and for younger adults, including people who live with mental health conditions, and we offer respite stays for those who need nursing care for a shorter period. Having registered nurses on duty means we can look after people whose health needs are complicated or changing, and it means somebody does not have to move on when their condition progresses. We manage medication, wounds, continence, nutrition and pain, we watch closely for early signs of deterioration, and we work jointly with GPs, community teams, mental health colleagues and the local hospitals. Nursing skill is the foundation, but a home is judged on how people actually live in it. Our residents keep their own routines as far as their health allows, they have their own belongings around them, and staff take trouble to learn about the person rather than only the diagnosis. For residents living with a mental health condition, we offer stability, calm and consistency, and we notice quickly when somebody is becoming unwell. For our younger residents we think seriously about what a full week should contain rather than assuming that a chair and a television will do. Families are welcome at any reasonable hour, we keep them properly informed, and we would always rather hear a concern early. If you are looking for nursing care in this part of Lancashire, please arrange to visit and ask us whatever you need to know.
