Testimonial - '' Northwood is full of warmth and amazing people.....Eileen and her team are an inspiration to us all ''
It was once traditional that care could be provided by the family but today's social and economic pressures often mean this is not possible or practical and may not be the preference of those who require care.
If a need to consider residential or nursing care does arise this can be a quite emotive time for everyone involved and any feelings of guilt or uncertainty are understandable and perhaps inevitable. Making the right choice first time is very important as a need to move again later can prove very traumatic so our aim is to help at a time when you will have many questions need straightforward and honest advice.
Family owned and managed for 29 years Northwood offers security, warmth, peace of mind and companionship of like-minded people in a welcoming and very homely environment. We also offer excellent food, entertainments and beneficial activities and for every individual we always take into consideration their emotional, social, psychological, physical and spiritual needs.
A visit to Northwood can help overcome some of the misconceptions and although we realise a shared environment is not the same as living at home we do try to make Northwood the next best thing.
We are registered to provide both residential and nursing care so have trained nursing staff on duty 24 hours per day and no local authority owned home can offer this advantage which removes the need to move if care needs change and involve a nursing care requirement.
No matter how care would be funded, even if fully supported by a local authority, the choice of care home is entirely yours as the local authority must operate under a government choice directive and must never limit your choice to only a local authority owned care home.
We are also proud of our 'Enhanced Quality Award', the highest award possible under the Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council quality assurance scheme.
