About Northwood Nursing & Residential Care
Northwood Nursing & Residential Care combines residential support with round-the-clock nursing care, allowing residents’ needs to change without moving to another home. Its care scope includes dementia, acquired brain injury, physical disabilities and other complex needs, with qualified nurses available day and night.
The Blackburn home is a boutique-style setting for up to 27 residents in a restored Victorian building. Care plans can support rehabilitation, ongoing clinical needs and changing health requirements, while continuity is maintained through a stable team. Families can also receive help understanding funding routes, including self-funding and local authority assistance. The dual model brings residential and nursing care under one roof.
