About Hillcroft Nursing Home Caton Green

Hillcroft Nursing Home at Caton Green, near Lancaster, provides nursing care to older adults and to some younger adults, with respite stays available. We support residents living with dementia, residents with mental health needs, and residents with a physical disability. Having registered nurses on duty at all hours means health problems are noticed and managed here, by people who know the resident well, rather than through hospital admissions that often leave somebody weaker and more disoriented than when they went in. It also means a family ringing with a worry gets a proper clinical answer rather than being asked to wait. Dementia care and mental health care both rest on the same foundation, which is knowing the person well enough to understand what they are telling you when they cannot say it plainly. A settled staff team, a routine that holds its shape, and time given rather than grudged achieve more than any particular intervention. The setting here is a real advantage and we make use of it. Getting outside matters to people and is the first thing to slip when a home gets busy, so we keep it firmly on the agenda. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. Anyone weighing up a nursing home for themselves or a relative is welcome to visit and see how the place runs on an ordinary day.
