Located in a quiet neighbourhood of Blackpool, Pennystone Court provides residential, dementia and short-stay care for up to 36 residents in a vibrant and award-winning home. Just a short stroll from the seafront and within easy reach of shops, parks and local community groups, the home is known for its uplifting atmosphere and creative spirit.
Bedrooms are all en-suite and enjoy views of the landscaped gardens, including Joyce’s Garden and a sensory space with herbs, wildlife, and a summer house. Residents can explore raised beds, tend flowers, or simply enjoy the scent of mint and lavender as they pass. A caravan—funded by the local community—offers a space for games, music, reminiscence and laughter.
Mealtimes are full of flavour and personality, with resident-led menu reviews, tasting menus, and beloved staples like “fish and chip Friday” made with Fleetwood-caught cod. Pavlova day is a home favourite—no plates required.

My mother has been here for over 12 months and really likes it. She is safe, secure and cared for by the best staff. Family and friends who visit are always impressed by its cleanliness. The food is great too. Staff who are smiling all the time are the best.

Many thanks for your review; I will pass on the excellent feedback to our team.

Both of my in-laws are residents in Pennystone. I have not seen them so happy for a very long time. On my frequent visits, they always mention how settled they are, how good the food is and how well looked after they feel.
The monthly magazine keeps residents and family up to date with all the activities, of which there are many, and events during the previous weeks and also the coming month.
Staff are friendly, courteous and show an all-round awareness of my in-laws' individual needs. They are polite and professional and always welcoming. The manager is always available to discuss anything with regard to my in-laws and shows a genuine interest in their well being.
A huge weight has been taken from the family’s shoulders and we are so happy we chose Pennystone for the care of our nearest and dearest. Visiting them is now an enjoyable and social occasion and joining them at events and activities is an absolute pleasure!
Thank you for your positive feedback on Pennystone Court, I will pass this on to the team.

Our friend was struggling at home and it needed a colleague to get her to accept help. Since she has gone to Pennystone Court there has been a miraculous improvement to her condition. Good food, help with tablets daily, comfortable surroundings and excellent care home revitalised her life and she has become the person we remember from over 1 year ago.

The home is bright and clean with spacious en-suite bedrooms. There are several areas for residents and visitors to sit and lovely gardens created for people with dementia.
The specialist chefs make fresh appetizing meals throughout the day and cakes for afternoon tea.
The activities are varied and engaging and visits from local school children and entertainers make each day interesting.
My father is responding very well in his new home due to the friendly and supportive staff and the loving family atmosphere.
Having experience of several homes in the area, my family would not hesitate to recommend Pennystone Court.

I visit other homes to visit people and have never come across care like this. Even all the washing is done in separate machines so nothing ever goes missing. 10 out of 10.

I cannot rate Pennystone Court highly enough. Quite simply it is an outstanding home, run by outstanding carers and a superb leadership team. At a time when my mother's ongoing care is of utmost importance, I have trust in Pennystone Court and they have not let me and my family down. I rate them as excellent across the board and every time I visit my decision is reinforced: wonderful, caring people, providing a personal service which has my mum's care at heart. I would recommend without hesitation.
As the home is purpose built, it is absolutely perfect to accommodate my fiance's needs. The seniors/staff and management are very caring and considerate and all my finance's needs are taken care of.
He is happy and settled at Pennystone.

From the first step into Pennystone Court, it was obvious that we had found the right home for mum. Welcoming, homely, well cared for residents. Nothing has happened to make us change our minds. Mum has Alzheimer's and thought she could return home, now she considers Pennystone as home. She loves the staff, enjoys all her meals, joins in with activities (something she wouldn't do at home!). Great place for her to enjoy the rest of her life. Peace of mind for us, her family.

I know that she enjoys the meals and has clearly put some weight back on.
Overall I am sure that she has benefited from being in the very caring environment that Pennystone Court provides.
Mum has been a resident for 4 years, is very happy and well looked after. The staff are great.

My mum was in Pennystone Court for 2 years. She had Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. and my sister and I agonised a lot before we made the big decision to get mum more care. We tried one other before Pennystone, but she then moved here. It was the best decision we could have made. Mum had her own private flat, with en-suite and plenty of room for a couple of big comfy chair for visitors. Anyone could visit 24/7 and they were always made welcome. The staff were tremendous and checked on mum very regularly, and you could tell from the notes that they cared. Pennystone has a great blend of activities for residents to join in with (singing, quizzes, visiting, Bingo etc), whilst not forcing everyone to join in. Mum was very happy there and made some great friends along the way, both staff and residents, and you could see how much they cared. Her great-grandchildren were welcomed by all, and the place has a lovely happy vibe about it. The care she got towards the end of her life was superb.
