About Askham Hall

Askham Hall in March is a nursing home caring for older people, including many residents living with dementia. Having qualified nurses on site at every hour is the reason many families choose us, because it means a person can stay put as their health changes rather than moving again at a difficult time. We pay close attention to medication, pain relief, skin care and nutrition, and we involve GPs and community teams early rather than late. Done properly, the clinical side of the work fades into the background and leaves room for the day itself. Mornings are flexible, food is cooked here and adapted to individual tastes, and support with personal care follows the resident's pace rather than the rota's. Company is there for those who want it and peace for those who would rather have their own room and a visit from family. For residents living with dementia, we keep routines steady and take real trouble to learn a person's earlier life, because that knowledge is usually what allows us to settle someone who is distressed. We also offer respite care, whether to give a family carer a break or to provide nursing support after a hospital stay. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
