About Whitelow House Nursing Home

Whitelow House Nursing Home is in Morecambe, Lancashire. We provide nursing care for older people whose health needs go beyond what a residential home can safely manage, with qualified nurses on duty throughout the day and night. Many of our residents live with dementia, often alongside physical illness or reduced mobility. Caring well in that situation is detailed work. Pain that somebody can no longer describe, appetite that changes without warning, skin that needs watching and confusion that comes and goes must all be picked up early, and that depends on staff who know the person rather than simply the notes. Care is planned with residents and their families. Meals, sleep, privacy, company and the ordinary rhythm of a day sit in the plan alongside medication and observations, and we write down the small preferences so that good care does not depend on who happens to be on shift. We work closely with GPs, district nurses, therapists and hospital teams to keep treatment prompt and to avoid unnecessary moves. Respite stays are available for families needing a planned break and for people requiring nursing support for a short period. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Please ring us or call in. We will show you round and answer your questions plainly.
