About The Laurels Care and Nursing Home
The Laurels Care and Nursing Home in Bacup provides both residential and nursing care, which means people do not have to move on when their health needs grow. Registered nurses work alongside our care team, and we look after older people, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, and people living with mental health conditions. The nursing covers management of long term conditions, wound and skin care, continence support, help where eating and swallowing have become difficult, and careful oversight of medication. We work closely with local GPs, district nurses and therapy teams, and we ask for specialist advice early rather than waiting to see how matters develop. The residential side is less clinical and more domestic. People get up when they wake, eat what they like, and pass the day as they choose. For those living with dementia we keep the routine steady and the faces familiar, because that settles somebody more reliably than anything else available to us. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we would be glad to show you round.
