About Gibraltar Road Nursing Home
Gibraltar Road Nursing Home is a nursing home in Halifax, providing nursing care for adults with a learning disability and autistic adults whose health needs call for qualified nursing support. Having registered nurses on duty at all hours means we can look after people whose medical needs are complex while they still live somewhere that feels like home rather than a hospital. Support here covers personal care, medication, epilepsy, mobility, eating and drinking and the many health appointments that go with a complicated condition, but it also covers the ordinary business of a life, which is company, routine, choice and something to look forward to. We take time to learn how each person communicates, including those who use few or no words, so that we are responding to what they actually want. Respite stays are available as well, giving families a planned break. We need to be straightforward about our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission, which rated us requires improvement overall. We would rather say it ourselves than let you find it. We know the areas the inspectors asked us to put right, we are working through them, and we will go through the detail with any family or professional who asks us. We work closely with families and with the health teams involved, and we would rather raise a concern early than let it sit. If you are considering us, please visit, ask us difficult questions and judge us on what you see.
