Nursing Care
Nursing Care is usually provided when clinical needs increase in an individual, which means support is required 24 hours a day.
This time may come with the frailty of old age or with an intensive rehabilitation need following a stroke or heart attack.
At Linden Lodge Nursing Home at Warton, we can provide a long-term or short-term solution when periods of respite and recovery are required.
Care planning – agreed with the individual and their loved ones – ensures our approach is highly personalised and appropriate. At all times, the wishes of the person being cared for are paramount, and their dignity and respect are continuously upheld without question. Our support extends not only to your loved one but to the wider group. Our approach to palliative (or end-of-life) care is second to none, and where we can enable a positive and highly personalised experience. We have been awarded the highest level of Platinum status from The Gold Standard Framework for end-of-life care.
Once a person has reached a stage where nursing care is required, they may be very poorly, and we appreciate this will be a difficult time for everyone involved. Nursing care can also aid a period of recovery from a specific illness such as cancer or following an operation, stroke or heart attack.

If they have a nursing need this can be supplied by the Community Nursing Staff.

They are on hand to support care workers provide a higher level of care. Linden Care homes offers care for people who need both types of support.

Nursing Care will cost more than residential care, but in both instances, who pays for the care will depend on both the individual’s needs and their financial situation. Age UK has a wide variety of resources, fact sheets and guidance on funding the cost of care.
