About Rockmount Northwest
Rockmount Northwest is a care home in Blackburn, Lancashire, providing both residential and nursing care. We support adults living with mental health conditions, people with a physical disability, people with a visual or hearing impairment and people recovering from difficulties with alcohol or drugs. Having nursing available on site means a person's health needs can be met here rather than becoming a reason to move on, which matters a great deal when someone has finally found somewhere they feel settled. Much of our work is about steadiness. People here have their own room and their own routine, and staff who know them well enough to notice when something is shifting. Support with medication and appointments is reliable without being heavy handed, and there is practical help with the ordinary business of a week where that is what somebody needs. For people in recovery, we try to be a place where progress is possible without anyone being written off for a setback. Where there is a sensory impairment, we make sure communication genuinely works instead of assuming it does. Respite stays are available as well. We work closely with community mental health teams, general practitioners and social workers. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
