About Hamilton Springs

Hamilton Springs is a nursing home in Pontefract. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia or with mental ill health and people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays. Having registered nurses here means we can care for people whose health needs are significant, and we can usually carry on caring for somebody as those needs increase rather than asking them to move somewhere new. Nobody should have to settle into an unfamiliar home twice in the same year. We aim for a place that feels domestic. People wake when they wake, eat what they enjoy and spend the day in company or alone as they choose. Rooms belong to the residents and we treat them as private. For people living with dementia and for those living with mental ill health, what helps most is a settled environment and staff who know them properly. We keep in regular contact with GPs and community teams so that changes in health are noticed early and hospital admissions happen only when genuinely necessary. If you are looking at nursing care in this part of West Yorkshire, please come and visit, meet the team and ask whatever you need to ask before you decide.
