About Us

We at Risedale at Abbey Meadow are proud to offer compassionate nursing home care in the heart of Barrow in Furness, providing a welcoming home for older people and adults with a range of complex needs. Set within the wider Westmorland and Furness community in the North West, our home has been thoughtfully designed to feel warm, familiar, and reassuring from the moment you step through the door.

Our setting in Barrow in Furness offers residents the comfort of a calm, supportive environment whilst remaining close to the surrounding community. The home provides a peaceful place where residents can feel settled, families can visit with ease, and daily life can unfold at a gentle, considered pace. We believe the right environment is fundamental to good care, and we work hard to ensure ours feels like a true home rather than simply a place of support.

The breadth of care we offer reflects the genuine diversity of needs within our community. Our nursing team supports older people who require clinical care alongside everyday compassion, and we are experienced in caring for residents living with dementia, where consistency, patience, and a familiar routine make a meaningful difference to wellbeing. We also support younger adults and individuals with learning disabilities or autism, mental health needs, and physical disabilities, recognising that every person who joins us brings their own story, preferences, and aspirations. In practice, this means care plans shaped around the individual, families kept closely involved in decisions, and a team that takes time to understand what truly matters to each resident, whether that is a favourite routine, a cherished hobby, or simply the reassurance of a familiar face at the start of each day.

Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission, carried out in February 2020, rated Risedale at Abbey Meadow as Good across every domain assessed, including safety, effectiveness, caring, responsiveness, and leadership. For families, this consistent rating offers a meaningful layer of reassurance that the standards experienced day to day across our home have been independently recognised. It reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering thoughtful, person centred nursing care that families can trust.

Choosing a nursing home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. If you are exploring care options for a loved one in Barrow in Furness or the wider Furness area, we warmly invite you to get in touch, ask questions, and discover whether our home might be the right fit. Whatever stage you are at in your search, we are here to listen, to guide, and to help you feel confident about the next step.
