Nursing Homes in Haringey
Listed on Care Assura for Haringey are two nursing homes, Priscilla Wakefield House and Ashness View, giving families a focused shortlist when nursing-level support is the priority. Both providers currently hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, which is a reassuring starting point when weighing up where a relative might settle for longer-term care. It is worth acknowledging that two is a modest figure, and this reflects current CQC registration data for nursing homes in this area rather than any limitation of the Care Assura directory itself. Alongside the regulator, the London Borough of Haringey plays its own part locally, carrying out care needs assessments for residents and, where eligibility is met, arranging funded support that can be used towards a placement in either home. Reading the full CQC inspection report for Priscilla Wakefield House and Ashness View will give you a clearer sense of daily life, staffing and clinical care, so do open each profile below and take the time you need before deciding which home to approach next.
Planning and paying for a nursing home place in Haringey
Nursing care is arranged when someone needs support from a registered nurse on site around the clock, whether for a long-term condition, recovery after hospital, or increasing frailty. Haringey has two nursing homes listed on Care Assura, Priscilla Wakefield House and Ashness View, and both currently hold a CQC rating of Good. Because the choice is small, it is worth starting conversations early so you understand availability and whether either home can meet the specific clinical needs involved.
Starting with a care needs assessment
The first formal step is usually a care needs assessment, which is free and available to anyone who appears to need support. You can request one through London Borough of Haringey Adult Social Care, who will look at daily living, health, and safety, and then advise whether a nursing home is the right setting. If it is, a financial assessment follows to work out how much the council may contribute based on savings, income, and property.
Typical costs and funding routes
Nursing home fees in London tend to sit above residential care fees because of the qualified nursing input. Those with assets above the upper capital threshold generally pay privately, while others receive means-tested help. Anyone assessed as needing nursing care is also entitled to NHS-funded Nursing Care, a weekly contribution paid directly to the home regardless of savings.
Choosing a nursing home in Haringey and what to check
With only two providers to consider, it is realistic to visit both and compare them properly rather than rely on brochures alone.

The feel of the home
