About Westmorland Court Nursing and Residential Home

Westmorland Court Nursing and Residential Home in Carnforth provides both residential and nursing care for older people and for younger adults, including people living with dementia, along with respite and short stays. Having nursing on site means we can support people through complex and changing health needs without a further move becoming necessary. We work closely with GPs, district nurses, therapists and hospital teams, and we would rather raise a concern early than wait to see how it develops. For residents living with dementia we keep routines familiar and the pace unhurried, and we ask families to tell us about the person's life so that our conversations and our reassurance mean something. Consistent staff who know somebody well are worth more here than any programme. We want to be honest about where we are. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have taken that seriously rather than defensively, and work is under way on what was identified. If you are considering the home for a relative, please ask us plainly what the concerns were, what has been done and what remains outstanding, and we will tell you. Visitors are welcome, and we would rather you saw the home on an ordinary day than on a prepared one.
