Silloth Nursing and Residential Care Home
Location and contact details
Silloth Nursing and Residential Home was established in 1862 and is a registered charity (Cumberland and Westmorland Convalescent Institution) We are close to the golf course with sand dunes and views across the sea to Scotland on one side and a protected conservation area on the other. The home is on one level providing spacious accommodation and ample communal areas. There is an interior courtyard with raised flowerbeds for residents to enjoy and plant out. The home is registered to provide nursing and personal care for up to 38 people some of whom may have a physical disability.
We have a long tradition in excellent nursing care and offer a range of extensive care services within our fee structure, including a three monthly chiropody service. The home as an holistic approach to care: each resident is encouraged to participate in the development of their care plan. Each resident has a named nurse and a key worker: Dignity, Individuality and Privacy are the cornerstones of our care delivery. We have built up an impressive reputation in end of life care and our Palliative Care Team works closely with families and health care professionals to deliver the best possible care.
