Admission

Moving into a nursing or residential home is a very significant step for many people. It is important to ensure that the home you are considering can offer the kind of accommodation and care that you need, and that you will be happy there. The following organisations can offer advice about the factors you should consider when choosing a home

·        Age Concern
·        Cumbria Social Services
·        Help the Aged
·        Citizens Advice Bureau

Homes are regularly inspected by their registration authorities and their reports should be available for you to read in local libraries.  

We welcome visits from people who are looking for a nursing or residential home, and are happy to arrange admission for a trial period if this would be helpful.

Respite care breaks may also be arranged, either for a single visit or on a regular basis.
