Helping the elderly and needy in their own homes within the Ribble Valley is the prime objective of the Alston Lodge Community Care team .
Now, with its head office in Longridge at the residential home, it is to cover new geographical regions.
According to director Pam Hooghkirk, it will mean more people who want to remain in their own homes can have the support, service and care required.
She added: “It means they will maintain their dignity, privacy and independence.”
