About Stocks Hall Nursing Home
Stocks Hall Nursing Home in Skelmersdale cares for adults who need registered nursing available at any hour of the day or night. That includes older people whose health has become too complex to manage at home, people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, and younger adults with nursing needs. We also take respite admissions, either to give a family carer a planned break or to give somebody a settled place to recover after illness or a hospital stay. Nursing here is about doing the fundamentals consistently. Skin care, pain, nutrition, mobility and medication reviewed properly, and close working with GPs, district nurses and hospital teams so that nothing gets lost between them. Around that, this is a home, so meals are unhurried, days have a shape people recognise, and there is company for anyone who wants it and quiet for anyone who does not. We owe you honesty about inspection. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to talk around that or hope you miss it. If you are considering us for someone close to you, ask what the inspectors found, ask what we have changed since, and ask how we are checking that the changes have held. Come and look round without arranging it first if you would rather see the home on an ordinary afternoon. Families and social workers are welcome to keep asking once someone has moved in.
