About Dove Court Care Home
Dove Court Care Home is a nursing home in Burnley, providing nursing care for older people, including people living with dementia, people with mental health needs and people who have a physical disability. We will deal with the rating first, because you are entitled to it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to talk around that. The inspection identified things that were not good enough, we accept the findings rather than dispute them, and we are working through what was raised. Anybody considering the home for themselves or a relative should ask us directly what was found and what has changed since, and we will give a straight account rather than a reassuring one. The work itself continues as it must. Qualified nurses are on site at all hours, which is what allows people with complex health needs to live here rather than being moved repeatedly between home and hospital. Medication, wound care, attention to nutrition, pain and skin, and catching deterioration early are the substance of our days. For residents with a physical disability, the right equipment and staff who know their preferred way of transferring matter enormously. With dementia we work on familiar faces and a calm pace. For people with mental health needs we work alongside the teams already involved. Come and see the home at a busy time of day and judge it as it is now.
