About the home

Pennystone Court care home in Blackpool

When you first visit Pennystone Court, it isnt the sights and sounds of the seaside that will stay with you, despite the short stroll to the seafront. Its probably not the design of the home either. Lovely though it is.

Instead, its the spirit of positivity and warmth that permeates our home, with a mantra to make great things happen, no matter what it takes.

Its this positive outlook that has created a home filled with uplifting stories, energising people, and amazing achievements. Its the reason you can feel such a strong sense of togetherness. Because when theres an idea or opportunity to make later life better for residents. It happens.
