About Southwoods Nursing Home
Southwoods is a nursing home in Northallerton caring for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia. Qualified nurses are on duty at every hour of the day and night. Nursing on the premises means health needs are attended to as they arise rather than waiting on visits from elsewhere, and it means our nurses and carers work as one team. What somebody likes, what settles them and how they want their day to run matters alongside the clinical detail. For people living with dementia we keep routines steady and staff familiar, and we ask relatives to tell us about the person's history so that we can use it in conversation and to steady things when somebody is distressed. Meals are cooked on the premises and adapted where swallowing or appetite is a difficulty. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable hour. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather be the ones to tell you. We have accepted the findings, we are working through the areas that were raised, and we are willing to go through the detail with anyone considering us for a relative. Short stays are available when a carer at home needs a break. Please come and see the place, ask us difficult questions, and judge us on the answers you get.
