About the home

Pennystone Court care home in Blackpool

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

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

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