About Risedale Nursing Home

Risedale Nursing Home in Barrow In Furness provides nursing care for older people and younger adults, with qualified nurses on duty throughout the day and night. Health needs are therefore met on site by people who know the resident well, rather than through repeated journeys elsewhere. We support residents living with dementia and people living with a physical disability. Our nursing work covers medication, mobility, nutrition, skin care, pain and comfort, and we watch closely for the quieter changes in appetite, mood and sleep that usually come first. For residents living with dementia we keep the day familiar, work at each person's pace and treat distress as communication rather than as behaviour to be managed. We want the place to feel domestic rather than clinical, so rooms are personalised, residents decide how their days run, and relatives are welcome whenever they can come. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing care for a short period, including after a hospital admission. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are looking at nursing care in this area, please come and visit at an ordinary time of day, meet our nurses and residents, and ask us whatever you would like to know.
