About Rushmore House

Rushmore House is a nursing home in Leeds, caring for older people whose health needs have gone beyond what can be managed comfortably at home. Having qualified nurses here at every hour means changes in somebody's condition are picked up early and handled calmly, which often spares a person an avoidable hospital admission. A large part of our work is with people living with dementia. We keep the day unhurried and predictable, we make sure people see faces they recognise and we pay attention to the details that anchor somebody. We also care for people living with a physical disability and people with sight or hearing loss, where dignity and sensible practical adjustments matter as much as clinical care, and for younger adults, whose day we plan around their own interests. Respite care is available too, for people recovering after illness and for family carers who need a break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We take that as a foundation rather than a finish. The better measure is whether people here look comfortable and whether relatives feel welcome at any reasonable hour.
