About Craven Nursing Home
Craven Nursing Home is in Skipton, North Yorkshire. We care for older people who need registered nursing as well as help with daily life, and a large part of our work is with people living with dementia. Having nurses on duty at every hour is the practical reason most people come to us. It allows us to manage complex medication, skin and pressure care, continence and nutrition, and to watch health closely enough that changes are caught while they are still small. Where somebody is nearing the end of their life, it means we can keep them comfortable here, among people who know them. Dementia care asks for something other than clinical skill. It asks for a familiar rhythm to the day, surroundings that are easy to make sense of, and staff who will go where the person is rather than correcting them. We take time to learn about somebody's working life, their family and their habits, because that is what explains how they are now. Skipton and the dales around it are a good place to be, and we help people get out where they want to go and keep hold of what matters to them. Respite and short stays are available, including for people regaining strength after hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are welcome to come and look round Craven.
