About Marsden Heights Care Home
Marsden Heights is a care home in Nelson caring for older people and younger adults with a broad range of needs, including dementia, mental ill health, physical disabilities, sight and hearing loss, and eating disorders. Our staff are used to supporting people whose needs do not fit neatly into one category. We build the day around the individual rather than the building. Help with washing, dressing, mobility and medication is given at the time and in the way somebody prefers, and we take the trouble to learn those preferences before a person moves in so nobody has to keep explaining themselves. Where dementia is part of the picture we keep routines steady and faces familiar, and we use what we know about a person's working life and family to steady things when they are anxious. Where mental ill health or difficulties around eating are involved, we keep close contact with health teams, avoid making mealtimes a battleground, and involve the person properly in decisions about their own care. Meals are cooked here and adapted where they need to be. Visitors are welcome and we would much rather families raised a worry early than sat on it. Short respite stays are available, often after a spell in hospital or to give a carer a rest. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we would be glad to show you round.
