About care in FY6
FY6 covers Poulton-le-Fylde and the rural parishes between Blackpool and Fleetwood — a Lancashire market town district with a stable, predominantly white British older demographic and a care market shaped by its proximity to the much larger Blackpool conurbation. The 10 care homes provide 357 beds with an average CQC rating of 3.5; Lancashire County Council is the commissioning authority here, operating through its Older People and Physical Disabilities service. The distinct character of Poulton — independent shops, a historic market square and good transport links via the Blackpool to Preston rail line — makes FY6 a preferred location for older residents who want proximity to the Fylde Coast without living in the busier resort areas.
