  2. Say what care is needed. Nursing, dementia or residential care changes which homes can take someone. 2 homes near Darwen are registered for nursing.

  4. Visit before you decide, ideally at a mealtime, and read the latest CQC report for each home.
  5. Need the council's help to pay? Ask Blackburn with Darwen council for a free needs assessment first. It may only pay up to its own rate.
