Longton Nursing and Residential Home is a purpose-built care home set in landscaped gardens providing nursing and residential care to people in need of assisted living. Located towards the start of the Ribble Way riverside walk, we have beautiful views and fresh air in abundance, and are proud to call ourselves a care home that truly cares.

Our staff are qualified and trained to the highest degree, with a history of providing an excellent standard of care within a safe and homely environment. For that reason, it’s no coincidence that Longton has developed an excellent reputation for care in recent years, both in the local area and beyond.

A care home that truly cares.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information

The MPS Care Home Group continues to adhere to the guidelines set by Public Health England Agency. The health and wellbeing of our residents and staff are of utmost priority. Therefore we ask that you please contact the homes directly about visiting opportunities as well as new care enquiries as we are safely accepting new residents.

Caring? It’s in our nature

All around us at Longton, we’re surrounded by nature reserves and marshlands filled with wildlife that our residents can enjoy on a daily basis. If having the Ribble Way riverside walk at your fingertips wasn’t enough, we even have our own landscaped gardens for that added touch of private tranquillity.

Alongside the beautiful scenery, residents will also find themselves surrounded by exceptional care and support at Longton. Our staff have a vast amount of experience across a range of care types, and we have strived for many years to create a homely environment where all our residents can live with independence and dignity.

For any avid engineers, our first floor lounge houses an electric train set, while our Activity Coordinator also takes the time to organise a number of seasonal activities and trips out into the local community.
