Healthwatch Blackpool had a positive experience visiting Glenholme Bispham Gardens. The manger and the team were very friendly and welcoming, and residents were more than happy to talk to speak with Healthwatch Blackpool. 

Feedback from residents and observations suggested that residents overall felt satisfied with the care received. 

The main area for improvement is, one resident shared that, as a wheelchair user, they sometimes feel overlooked and experience delays in receiving support, particularly during mealtimes. They noted that while initial assistance is provided, they are often left waiting for extended periods before further help is offered.
