The sisters and staff adopt a simple and direct philosophy of care which is based on the awareness that each individual has the right to be loved, listened to, understood and respected. Promotion of holistic well-being is of primary importance. We provide care and support during all stages of illness so that each person can live as fully as possible. We believe that it is important that the sick and handicapped are kept at the centre of everyone’s lives and are not forgotten by society. The sick teach us that weakness is an integral part of human living and that suffering can be embraced with no loss of dignity. Without their presence, we might be tempted to think of health, strength and power as the ultimate values to be pursued in life. ‘We begin by imagining that we are giving to them; we end by realising that they have enriched us’ (Pope John Paul II).

As a Catholic religious community involved in healthcare, we seek to respect and value life in all its stages. We welcome the work being done in this regard by the Care not Killing Alliance.

The beautiful situation of Boarbank Hall, facing south and overlooking Humphrey Head and the wide expanse of Morecambe Bay, helps to provide a peaceful and attractive environment for recovery. Our accommodation consists of 25 single room and one twin room, each comfortably furnished and equipped with a bed-side nurse call system, a television and a telephone point. There are also two lounges facing the Bay and leading out into extensive gardens.

A chapel is attached to the Nursing Home. Services are held daily and individuals may attend as they wish. Ministers of various denominations visit regularly. The spiritual needs of patients and relatives are always respected.
