Birchfield Care Home, Blackburn, is a family run home and we endeavour to always provide that extra ‘personal’ touch to make our Home as friendly and welcoming as possible whilst providing the highest possible standard of care and cleanliness within its calm and luxurious surroundings.
The property dates back to the 1890s and was originally two residential properties; The Willows, which was a vicarage, and Wellfield.
The sympathetic conversion in 1987 to a Care Home has meant that the building has retained most of its original features and all of its character and charm.
Birchfield is set in its own grounds and is surrounded by beautiful, towering trees thus affording it a very private aspect.
The Home is situated in a highly sought after residential area of Blackburn, Lancashire, near to Witton Country Park and within easy reach of Blackburn town centre and the local amenities.
Birchfield Care Home, Blackburn, Lancashire is a luxury Care Home of the highest quality and we pride ourselves on maintaining very affordable accommodation.
You are very welcome to visit Birchfield and we will be pleased to show you around, introduce you to our staff and give you the opportunity to become acquainted with our Home so that you can see how we can satisfy the needs of you or your family member as and when a room becomes available.
Earlier this month our residents began their preparations for Easter by creating some wonderful Easter Cards for their friends and relatives. It was a very enjoyable session of crafting and we think you’ll agree, there are some very artistic folk…
We’ve been busy at Birchfield personalising our Zimmers and walking sticks with a bit of bling. It was fun to do and now we all easily recognise our own aids.
Fitness and mobility are very important as we age. Our residents enjoy regular visits from ‘Senior Fitness’ who helps them with their general fitness and dexterity.
There’s nothing more relaxing to be able to put your feet up. Here is our resident, Paula, enjoying a foot pamper and a lovely cup of tea.
We encourage everyone to keep up to date with the news and hold regular sessions where we read the newspapers and our residents discuss the stories of the day.
Our Chinese themed day was wonderfully relaxing. We decorated the dining room and our residents enjoyed fortune cookies and listened to Chinese music throughout the day.
We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the wonderfully exotic creatures of ZooLab when they came to visit us earlier in January – some of us even ventured to hold them!
We recently had a visit from Adrienne to do some ‘fitness moves’. Our residents used teddies to practice rocking moves and arm mobility.
James of Senior Fitness continues to visit regularly to keep us all supple and sprightly. Here are some of our residents enjoying a recent session.
We all had a wonderful time at our Annual Christmas Fair… and we especially enjoyed our visit from Santa.
