About
Victoria House is a residential care home in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, about five miles from the Fylde Coast. It stands in the town centre, a two-minute walk from the railway station, with local shops and services nearby. The building was once a doctor's surgery and has since been extended and converted by its owner to provide ten single rooms and two double rooms. The home is family owned and run, with a Head of Care managing day-to-day operations. It is rated Good by the Care Quality Commission.
Staff give medication as prescribed by doctors and pass dietary needs, including diabetic diets, to the kitchen. Staff are expected to work towards NVQ levels 2 and 3. A daily activity programme, usually held in the afternoons, changes from day to day, and residents may join in if they wish. The care team aims to support residents' well-being and help them keep their social skills for as long as possible.
