About Heightside House Nursing Home
Heightside House Nursing Home is in Rossendale. We care for older people who need nursing support and for people living with mental ill health, including younger adults. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Registered nurses are on site around the clock, which means clinical needs are met here rather than through repeated trips to hospital. Wound care, catheters, diabetes, pain relief and the gradual changes that come with long term conditions are managed by people who know the person. Most of good nursing care is small things done reliably. Pressure care that does not slip. Mouth care that is not skipped. Someone sitting with a person who is frightened in the night. The other half of the job is a life worth getting up for. Residents choose their routines and their rooms are their own. Where mental ill health is part of the picture, we keep things calm and consistent and work closely with community mental health teams. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We will not dress that up. We know what was identified, there is work in hand, and we would rather discuss it openly with anyone considering Heightside House than have it come as a surprise. Please visit, ask us direct questions and see the home as it actually is.
