About Us

We at The Old School House and Courtyard Nursing Home extend a warm welcome to families exploring residential care in Brough, East Riding of Yorkshire. Our home offers thoughtful, person centred support for older people, including those living with dementia or physical disabilities, in a setting that feels calm, familiar, and genuinely homely.

Nestled within the market town of Brough, our home benefits from the peaceful character of this part of the HU postcode area, whilst remaining well connected for visiting family and friends. The combination of the Old School House and its adjoining Courtyard creates a distinctive environment with a real sense of heritage, offering communal spaces where residents can socialise, quieter corners for reflection, and outdoor areas that bring the changing seasons of Yorkshire into everyday life.

Our specialisms reflect the varied needs of the people who choose to live with us. For older people requiring residential support, we provide compassionate day to day assistance that promotes dignity and independence. For those living with dementia, we take time to understand each person's history, preferences, and routines, so that familiar comforts and gentle reassurance are woven into daily life. Residents with physical disabilities are supported in ways that focus on ability rather than limitation, encouraging participation and confidence. We also welcome respite guests, providing short term stays that can offer a valuable break for family carers or a period of recovery following illness or hospital admission.

In practice, this means families can feel confident that their loved one is known as an individual. From meaningful activities and mealtimes shared in good company, to quiet moments of one to one attention, our team works to create days that feel purposeful and warm. We communicate openly with relatives, recognising that trust is built through honest conversation and consistent care.

The Care Quality Commission rated our home Good overall at its most recent inspection in August 2022, with Good ratings across the Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive domains. The Well led domain was noted as Requires Improvement, and we take this feedback seriously, using it as a focus for ongoing development so that leadership and governance continue to strengthen alongside the high standard of hands on care our residents already experience.

Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the mix of emotions that comes with it. If you are considering options in Brough or the wider East Riding of Yorkshire, we would be delighted to hear from you, answer your questions, and arrange a visit so you can see for yourself the warmth and care that define life at The Old School House and Courtyard Nursing Home.
