About Gibraltar Road Nursing Home

Gibraltar Road Nursing Home is a welcoming care home based in Calderdale, offering a warm and familiar environment for residents and their loved ones. The dedicated team here understands how important it is for families to feel confident and at ease when choosing the right place for someone they care about. With a genuine commitment to the people it serves, the home aims to be a place where residents can feel truly at home.

Gibraltar Road Nursing Home provides nursing care to eight people, with capacity for up to ten residents. The service supports people with a learning disability and autistic people, focusing on person-centred care that respects their rights, privacy and dignity. Staff support residents to have maximum choice and control over their lives, using the least restrictive practices possible.

The home has care plans and risk assessments in place for residents, though these are not always kept up to date, which presents a risk to the safety of care provided. The provider is undertaking a thorough review of the service's systems and processes, working closely with local authority partners to develop a service improvement plan aimed at strengthening how the home operates.
