About Willowbank Nursing Home
Here at Willowbank Nursing Home in Leeds, we provide nursing and personal care for older people, individuals living with dementia, younger adults, and those who need short term respite support. Our team works hard every day to make sure the people in our care feel safe, comfortable and genuinely valued as individuals. We know that choosing a nursing home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that responsibility lightly. From the first enquiry through to settling in and beyond, we aim to be straightforward, honest and supportive at every step. We encourage families to visit, ask questions and stay closely involved in their loved one's care. Our approach to dementia care is person centred, meaning we take time to understand each resident's history, preferences and routines. We believe that knowing who someone is matters just as much as knowing what their care needs are. For those who come to us for respite care, whether to give a family carer a break or to recover following a period in hospital, we work to make the stay feel as settled and reassuring as possible. We want to be open about where we are as a service. Our most recent CQC inspection resulted in a "requires improvement" rating, and we have taken that seriously. We have been working through the feedback and making real changes to how we operate. We are committed to doing better and to being transparent with residents and families about the progress we are making. Willowbank is part of the Leeds community and we are proud to support local people at what can be a challenging time in their lives. If you would like to find out more or arrange a visit, please do get in touch with us directly.
