About care in FY5
FY5 covers Thornton-Cleveleys and the coastal strip north of Blackpool in the Wyre district of Lancashire — a popular retirement destination with a care home market that has grown steadily as the population ages. The 17 CQC-registered homes offer approximately 380 beds, with 13 rated Good and 0 Inadequate — an above-average quality record for a coastal Lancashire district. Thornton-Cleveleys is a suburban coastal town developed largely in the inter-war period and has historically attracted retirees from the Lancashire and Yorkshire mill towns; many homes here benefit from sea air, flat walking routes and proximity to Blackpool's entertainment and retail facilities. The Wyre coast also has lower average property prices than Fylde to the south, making care home fees somewhat more affordable than the Lytham area.
