Springfield Court Nursing Home is a privately owned care home situated in the heart of rural Lancashire.
We are dedicated to providing the highest quality care and assistance to all residents of our lovely home and pride ourselves on being friendly, respectful and professional.
Excellent facilities, 60 hotel-style rooms, on-site café, Springfield's own theatre, top chefs and a host of well-planned activities make Springfield Court Nursing Home a care home with a difference.
​
WE ARE VERY PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR RECENT CQC RESULT
We have all worked so hard to attain this wonderful achievement.
We are now among a very small percent of nursing homes in the country who boast the highest rating.

ABOUT US
Springfield Court is a 60-bed, private care home, established in 1989, providing a warm, homely environment with friendly, caring staff. All our residents are treated individually, choosing their own lifestyles in Springfield, (their new home), whilst we ensure that their nursing needs are continually monitored and met with sensitivity and professionalism.
​
At Springfield Court we pride ourselves on appointing qualified, experienced and gifted chefs to excite even the most jaded of palettes. The chefs ensure there is always a choice of food at every meal.
​
We have appointed dedicated activities organisers whom make it their concern to see that all our residents are provided with stimulus. A diverse range of activities, outings and games take place daily.
​
What makes Springfield Court unique is its Theatre of Dreams where national and international entertainers regularly appear on stage. Running alongside these spectacular evening events is an Enrichment Programme in which guest speakers are invited to talk on a wide range of subjects. These evenings are enjoyed by residents, their relatives, staff and friends of Springfield Court.
Please take a moment to view a short video featuring Springfield's extensive gardens plus an aerial view of the entire home.
