About Newlands

Newlands is a nursing home in Workington, providing nursing and residential care to older adults, and to some younger adults, with respite stays available too. Because we have qualified nurses here at all hours, we can look after people whose health needs are significant or changeable without them having to move on again. For someone who has already made one difficult move, knowing that this one can be the last matters a great deal, and it matters to their families as well. We support residents living with dementia and residents with mental health needs. In both cases the approach depends on knowing the person: what their life has been, what settles them, what unsettles them, and what they are trying to tell us when words are hard to find. A familiar team and an unhurried routine achieve more than any amount of intervention. Nursing care should sit in the background of someone's day rather than dominate it. Medication, wound care and monitoring are done properly and without fuss, and the rest of the day belongs to the resident. Respite guests are looked after with the same planning and attention as everyone else. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. Visitors are welcome, and anyone weighing up a nursing home for a relative is invited to come and see how the place actually feels.
