About Dalton Court Care Home

Dalton Court is a nursing home in Cockermouth, in the west of Cumberland. We look after older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing alongside help with daily living, including people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We also take respite bookings, whether for a family carer who needs a break or for someone recovering after a spell in hospital. Having nurses on the premises means a great deal out here. Wound care, catheters, complicated medication and health that shifts from one day to the next can be managed in the home rather than through repeated journeys to hospital, which in this part of Cumberland are neither short nor easy. The clinical side is only half of it. People choose how their day runs, keep their own belongings around them, eat food they actually want, and see their families whenever they like. We pay attention to the small things that make somebody feel like themselves rather than a patient, because those are usually what people miss first. We speak plainly with relatives, especially when health is changing. A difficult conversation held early is far kinder than a confusing one held late. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
