About Scissett Mount
Scissett Mount is a nursing home in Huddersfield, caring for older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing support, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather put that first than let somebody find it later. It is not the rating we want, and we are not going to explain it away or bury it under adjectives. We have an improvement plan, we are working through it with our staff, our residents and their families, and anybody considering the home is entitled to ask precisely what is changing and what evidence there is that it is working. The daily work carries on in the meantime, and it matters to the people who depend on it. Our nurses manage medication, wound care, mobility, nutrition and complex long term conditions, working alongside GPs and community health teams. Around that runs the ordinary business of living somewhere, which means meals worth eating, visitors made welcome, and staff who notice when a resident has gone quiet. Respite stays are available. We would encourage anyone weighing us up to visit, ask difficult questions and judge our progress for themselves.
