About Blencathra House
Blencathra House supports older people and adults with physical or sensory needs through residential, nursing and dementia care, alongside shorter respite and palliative stays. The home provides 24-hour care with qualified nursing staff, individual care plans and regular reviews involving residents.
Residents can receive visits from GPs and district nurses, while appointments with other visiting professionals can be arranged. Day care is also available. All bedrooms are for single occupancy unless a couple’s arrangement is agreed, and residents may bring personal belongings or furniture to make their room familiar.

They provide residential, nursing, dementia, end-of-life, respite and day care, with qualified nursing staff available 24 hours a day.
Can care needs be assessed at home or in hospital?
Yes. The team can discuss care needs at the person's home, in hospital or at the care home.
Do residents have their own bedroom?
Yes. All bedrooms are for single occupancy, although the home can accommodate a couple. Each room is individually styled and decorated.
How is residents' laundry handled?
The care staff manage laundry on site, with clothing named and returned, usually on the same day. Residents can request the service frequency, while dry cleaning costs extra.
How much does Blencathra House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Blencathra House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Leeds council paid on average £987 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
