Residents can enjoy restaurant quality meals cooked daily by Meadow Croft’s chef and team, and a personalised activity schedule.

Home manager Diane Langford said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have Meadow Croft House officially open in Garstang. It was a pleasure showing off this fabulous new care home, and we can’t wait to serve the wonderful community here in the village.”

“Like all Danforth’s homes, Meadow Croft is A rated for energy and will operate without gas, going pure electric to be as eco friendly as possible.

"An underground energy system running miles below the care home will heat the home’s hot water, provide underfloor heating and air cooling for the residents as an added bonus.

"With 80% of the available roof space lined with solar panels, the home will be making its own electricity, and selling what it doesn’t need back to the grid.”

“We are incredibly proud of all the work done to ensure this care home will be a happy, eco friendly place to live for decades to come,” said Diane. “We care deeply not just about our residents and staff, but about our planet as well.”

Meadow Croft is part of the Danforth Care Home Group.

It is the third care home from Danforth to open in Lancashire, alongside Rossendale House and Pear Tree House, which both opened last year.

These purpose-built luxury care homes have been created with the enjoyment and comfort of the residents at the forefront.

Each home has its own dedicated team, including an experienced home manager and on-site chef.
