About Wellington House Nursing Home
Wellington House Nursing Home is in Shipley, Bradford, and we provide nursing care for older people, including those living with physical disabilities. Nursing homes exist for people whose needs have gone beyond what can be safely managed elsewhere, and that brings real clinical responsibility. Our nurses look after medication, wound care, mobility, continence, nutrition and the day to day management of long term conditions, and we work closely with GPs and community health teams so that nothing is left to chance between services. What we watch for just as carefully is the rest of a person's life. Somebody who needs a hoist to move does not stop having preferences, opinions or a sense of humour, and the quickest way to make a nursing home a grim place is to let the care tasks become the whole day. So we pay attention to whether meals are worth eating, whether people get outside, whether visitors are made welcome, and whether the person who has gone quiet this week has been noticed by anybody. Respite stays are available, including for people who need a period of nursing support after a hospital admission before returning home. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families are welcome to visit and see the home on an ordinary day rather than a prepared one.
