Supported Living Lancashire

Northern Healthcare’s clinically informed model promotes stability, recovery, and increased independence within a structured and therapeutic environment. Our specialist clinical nursing team work alongside highly skilled and compassionate support teams to enable us to provide responsive and individualised care and support.

The team provide 24/7 support for people with a variety of mental health conditions. The people we support come to us from several different pathways; they may require greater ‘step-down’ support following a period in an acute hospital or forensic service. Our experienced team help the people we support to achieve their next steps, from tasks such as cooking and budgeting to longer-term goals such as gaining employment.

  • Can be on section 17, forensic MHA section or extended leave if approved by MOJ.
  • On admission, and if applicable, individuals must be stable on their current medication and medically fit.

What’s life like at Milnshaw House?

Milnshaw House opened in 2020 in the quiet town of Accrington. The people we support benefit from the best of both worlds; we are in easy walking distance to local shops and amenities, but also picturesque countryside is right on our doorstep. Blackburn can also be reached in just over 30 minutes by bus.

From the day we opened our doors, it was important to us as a team to establish excellent links with the local community services.

We encourage everyone to be actively involved in our monthly service meeting, where our team and the people we support come together to share feedback and new ideas.
