About Victoria House

Victoria House is a nursing home in Wakefield. We care for older people who need nursing support, including people living with dementia, and we take respite admissions alongside permanent places. Having qualified nurses on site around the clock means we can look after people whose health needs are complex or changing, manage a good deal here rather than in hospital, and provide care towards the end of life calmly and without rush. It also means families are not left wondering what happens overnight. Clinical care is only half the job. What people notice day to day is whether their relative is comfortable, clean, eating well, listened to and answered when they call, and whether the people looking after them know their name and their story. Those are the standards we hold ourselves to. Dementia care runs through much of our work. We keep the environment calm, routines familiar and staffing as steady as we can manage, and we take time to learn about each person's life so that we can respond to the feeling behind a difficult moment rather than simply to the behaviour. Respite admissions are planned properly, whether they are giving a family carer a genuine break or supporting somebody through a period of recovery. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families are welcome at Victoria House at any reasonable hour, and we would far rather hear a concern at the time than long afterwards.
