About Ingleborough Nursing Home

Ingleborough Nursing Home brings dedicated nursing care to the beautiful county of North Yorkshire, offering families a place where their loved ones can feel genuinely looked after. The home's setting in this part of Yorkshire means residents can enjoy a sense of calm and community, with staff on hand to provide support around the clock. For families beginning the search for nursing care, Ingleborough aims to be a reassuring presence during what can be a challenging time.

This care home provides personal and nursing care to up to 55 older people, including those living with dementia. It operates across three floors of a large adapted building with lift access. At inspection, 22 people were using the service.

The home maintained both paper and electronic systems for managing medicines. While electronic records were found to be robust and effective, paper records for creams and ointments were not consistently completed or used properly to document administration. Audits in place were not effective at identifying and monitoring issues.

Care records and risk assessments did not always contain up-to-date information, making it unclear whether people were receiving the support needed to prevent harm. Additionally, concerns identified in a fire risk assessment and during a fire drill had not been addressed in a timely manner.
