About Risedale at Aldingham Nursing Home

Risedale at Aldingham Nursing Home near Ulverston cares for older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing support, including residents living with dementia and residents with a physical disability. Nurses are on site throughout the day and night, so clinical needs are met here rather than requiring a move elsewhere, and people can stay with us as their health changes. We keep close attention on medication, pain relief, skin care and nutrition, and we involve GPs and community teams early rather than late. Around that, we try to make the day worth having. Mornings are flexible, meals are cooked on the premises and adapted to individual tastes, and support with washing and dressing is given at the resident's pace. We make the most of our surroundings too, because a view, fresh air and a change of scene do more for people than is often acknowledged. For residents living with dementia we keep routines familiar and spend real time learning a person's history, because that is usually what allows us to settle someone who is anxious. We also offer respite care, whether to give a family carer a break or to provide nursing support after a hospital stay. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
