About The Spinney Nursing Home
The Spinney Nursing Home is in Skelmersdale, caring for older people and for adults whose health needs mean qualified nurses need to be on hand at any hour. That cover means changes are noticed early and managed here wherever possible rather than through repeated journeys to hospital. We support people living with a physical disability, where dignity and practical independence matter as much as anything clinical, and younger adults, whose routines and interests we plan for in their own right rather than expecting them to fit into an older person's day. Respite care is available too, for people recovering after illness and for family carers who need a proper break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was requires improvement. We would rather put that in front of you ourselves than leave you to find it elsewhere. We have gone through the findings carefully and our attention has been on the things people actually feel day to day, consistent routines, accurate records and staff who know each person well enough to notice a change. Anyone considering The Spinney should visit and ask us directly what has changed and how we are making sure it holds.
