Welcome to

Stella Matutina Care Home

What makes life at Stella Matutina so special? It is the understanding that this isn’t just a care home, is your loved one’s forever home, and we just happen to work here.

As a premier care community in Lytham St Annes, we do things differently. Our unique model blends dedicated support with daily independence. With housekeepers and satellite kitchens on every floor, residents have the freedom to make their own morning toast, enjoy a brew with visiting family, or have breakfast brought straight to their room by our trained team.

 

Proudly owned by the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary since 1934, we are a modern, vibrant community open to men and women of all faiths. Complete with our own peaceful chapel, fresh local meals from our two chefs, and a ‘house car’ for trips into town, we offer a lifetime of calm, dignity, and true freedom.

A Sanctuary of Comfort

We believe a care home should expand your loved one’s world, not shrink it. Our beautiful seaside spaces are designed to provide the perfect balance of peaceful privacy, community life, and the absolute freedom to live exactly as they choose.

43 En-Suite Rooms

Accommodation

Each of our 43 private rooms features an en-suite bathroom and comfortable furnishings. Perfect for both permanent and respite stays, rooms can be fully personalised with treasured belongings, and sit just steps away from our floor-by-floor satellite kitchens.

A Place of Peace

On-Site Chapel

Our quiet chapel provides a serene space for reflection, prayer, and regular services with our local parish. While rooted in our Catholic heritage, the chapel is a welcoming sanctuary open to residents of all faiths, backgrounds, or no faith at all.

South-West Facing Views

Estuary Gardens

Our stunning south-west facing gardens overlook the Ribble Estuary, offering a beautiful space to enjoy the fresh sea air. It is the perfect spot for a peaceful stroll, relaxing with visiting family, or sitting back before heading out into Lytham.

What Families Say

Choosing the right care is one of the biggest decisions your family will ever make. Read firsthand stories from the sons, daughters, and relatives who trusted us to care for their loved ones, and discovered the true meaning of peace of mind.

My aunt became a resident after she was unable to look after herself. She was a very independent lady and was treated with dignity and love. In her final days she still praised the staff and the way they dealt with her passing was exemplary. I can only thank them for all the did for her.
Mike F
Nephew of Resident
All the staff are all lovely, and caring always willing to help in any way they can. The atmosphere in the home is friendly and welcoming. The home is clean and well presented. There are excellent and varied activities that happen daily. There is a daily menu with an alternative available. Families are able to join their loved one for a meal.
D C
Friend of Resident
My husband was in the home for 16 months and, throughout his stay, was looked after with great care and respect. Nothing was considered too much trouble, and I was more than happy with the caring attitude of all who were involved with him in any way. I would recommend Stella Matutina to everyone who needs a loving and caring environment in which to live.
