Professional Referrals to Cherrybrook Care Home

Cherrybrook Care Home in Bradford provides 24-hour nursing and specialist care for adults with complex physical, neurological and mental health needs. We welcome referrals from healthcare professionals, discharge teams and social care partners seeking high-quality, long-term or step-down care in a safe, nurse-led environment.

Specialist Support for Complex Care Needs

At Cherrybrook Care Home, we provide a clear and coordinated care pathway for adults with complex nursing needs, neurological conditions, dementia and long-term mental health challenges. Our approach is person-centred, collaborative and outcomes-focused, supporting each individual to live with dignity, purpose and the right level of support for their needs. We aim to create a positive environment that is inclusive, respectful and built around each person’s goals and lived experience.

Nursing Care

Cherrybrook offers round-the-clock nursing care for adults who require clinical oversight and ongoing support with complex physical health needs. Our team includes registered nurses on-site 24 hours a day, supported by experienced care staff, enabling us to manage a wide range of long-term conditions including mobility impairment, respiratory illnesses, neurological disorders and post-operative recovery.

Referrals are appropriate for individuals who are medically stable but require continued monitoring, medication management, and personal care that cannot be safely provided in a non-nursing or home environment. Our team works closely with GPs, community health teams and families to ensure continuity of care, with a focus on maintaining comfort, dignity and stability.

Dementia Care

Our dementia care service is suitable for individuals at all stages of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia and mixed forms. Cherrybrook provides a secure, structured environment with experienced staff trained in managing behaviours that may challenge, supporting cognitive decline, and providing non-pharmacological interventions.

We accept referrals for individuals who require 24-hour support in a dementia-informed setting. The environment is designed to promote calm and reduce disorientation, with access to sensory spaces and therapeutic activities. We also work in partnership with community mental health and memory services to ensure care is responsive to changing clinical needs.

Our team includes registered nurses and trained carers with experience in mental health, working alongside external professionals such as community mental health teams, psychiatrists and crisis services. Referrals are appropriate for individuals whose needs cannot be safely met at home but who do not require hospital-level intervention. Care plans are person-centred, risk-managed and built around therapeutic engagement.

Our care team works alongside physiotherapists, occupational therapists and community health professionals to deliver a joined-up approach that promotes realistic recovery goals and long-term quality of life.
