The Knowle Care Home opened in 1986 and the original building was created from two large Victorian houses.
In 2018, The Knowle Care Home, one of Preston's leading residential and dementia care homes, opened the doors to its purpose-built extension and The Knowle can offer a combination of modern or more traditional rooms.
The Knowle is able to accommodate 32 residents, which allows the home to maintain a homely and friendly atmosphere. The majority of the bedrooms have en-suite facilities and the home is also able to offer companion bedrooms for those couples who wish to share.
The outstanding staff team are led by the experienced registered manager who has been in the post for six years. This stability and experience together with the highly trained and caring staff provide an excellent environment for residents.
The registered manager and the staff team appreciate that a move into residential care can be a stressful time for the resident and loved ones and are on hand to help and to answer any queries.
In addition to the high level of care provided, the residents at The Knowle benefit from the activity and lifestyle program which is led by the dedicated activities coordinator. There is a wide variety of activities available to suit everyone's tastes. Group activities are provided and there is also dedicated one-to-one time.
There are regular residents and relatives meetings to help enhance and continually improve the service.
Two experienced chefs are employed at The Knowle Care Home to ensure that the meals, snacks and homemade cakes that are provided are of an excellent standard.
The Knowle Care Home received the Investors in People award in December 2020.

My mum has been in The Knowle over 2 years and has settled in nicely. I do not worry about her as I know she is having the best care. She loves her room as she can go there and it feels like home. The staff stay the same and hardly ever change.

We really appreciate it!

I cannot praise the home too highly as all the staff have been so caring and compassionate. It's been a relief to know the care and understanding has been to the highest standard, not just to my relative but to watch the same care been given to other residents. Nothing was too much trouble in adapting the room to my relative's needs and wishes which helped her to settle in quickly. I cannot thank the staff at the Knowle enough for all they do.
I have found the staff to be friendly when I have visited, and if I have had any questions to ask, the staff have been helpful.

I have found the staff to be friendly when I have visited, and if I have had any questions to ask, the staff have been helpful.
It took my sister quite a long time to settle down, but I feel that she is now very comfortable and happy in her room. She tells me she has enjoyed all her meals since being in The Knowle.
I wouldn’t ever send another member of my family here, complete lack of compassion for family members once their service is no longer appropriate, kept personal belongings of my mother and then refuse to answer emails when we ask for their return. Please avoid leaving these people caring for...
I wouldn’t ever send another member of my family here, complete lack of compassion for family members once their service is no longer appropriate, kept personal belongings of my mother and then refuse to answer emails when we ask for their return. Please avoid leaving these people caring for someone you love.

We understand that you tried to contact us via our "on-line enquiry" via our website. Unfortunately, our website was being updated and we did not receive your email. A family member contacted us on our office email address on Saturday 28th November at 12.23 and the Operations and Quality Manager responded on Sunday 29th November at 10.33, who subsequently spoke with the Manager the following day. I understand this matter regarding your Mum's possessions has now been resolved. We apologise for not updating our communication method during the change of website.

The drive is on a hill and has many potholes, sometimes the staff cars park too close together on the drive which makes it unsafe for walking frame usage. The ramp also needs attention.
Given the news from the hospital that my mother could not return home was upsetting and equally worrying. I was worried about what care my mother might receive going into a home and I didn’t know where to start the process of finding my mother a home. I was given a list of homes by the hospital....
The first home I visited was The Knowle care home and the staff were reassuring and friendly and were understanding of my concerns and nerves. From the minute I walked in it felt homely and the home had a wonderful atmosphere. After looking around other homes I chose The Knowle for my mother and I couldn’t be happier with the care she receives. Mother is happy and content whenever I visit and the staff keep me informed of any changes or updates with my mother.
The home is excellent, both the manager and the staff are extremely caring and helpful. I was worried about my relative having to go into a care home, however, both the manager and the staff helped put my mind at ease. I visited the home on various occasions prior to my relative moving in and each...
Since moving in both my relative and myself are really happy with the care she receives. I would highly recommend The Knowle Care Home.
It can be very stressful dealing with an emergency need for a care home. The Knowle were great about helping us organise a private ambulance and taking care of the details. Lovely place.
