Appleby Court Care Home

About Us

We are Appleby Court Care Home, a nursing home in Kirkby. We care for older people who need qualified nursing alongside support with daily living, including people with physical disabilities. Respite stays are available.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we would rather tell you that ourselves than have you find it elsewhere. We have worked through the findings in detail, changed how care is planned, recorded and reviewed, and strengthened the way we supervise and support our staff. Our progress is being monitored, and relatives are given the same account of it that we give the regulator.

What we are working to protect in the meantime is the everyday experience of living here. Nurses on duty at all hours mean health needs can be managed as they change, from medication and wound care to pain and increasing frailty. Around that, people should still be choosing when to get up, what to eat and how to spend the day, looked after by staff who know their history well enough to notice quickly when they are not themselves.

If you are considering Appleby Court for someone, please visit and ask about the rating directly. We will answer fully and show you what has changed.
