The Dales Care Home
The Dales Care Home in Skipton
Here at The Dales, we provide high quality residential and 24-hour nursing care for older people, in addition to support for those living with dementia on our dedicated Memory Lane Community. Alongside this, we also offer palliative care with dedicated, devoted and experienced staff who are both highly qualified and compassionate. Our staff form strong relationships with residents, family and friends, which is central to the caring and homely atmosphere we offer.
As with all Barchester care homes, our high standards are reflected through our hospitality, cooking and activities. There is always something new and different happening, be it live entertainment, themed-events or trips to local places of interest. You can keep up-to-date with our latest activities and events by clicking the link.
Our home is situated in the small country village of Draughton, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Whilst visiting, you can take advantage of the many scenic views that can be easily seen from the windows throughout the home. The historic village of Skipton is also only 5 miles away and well worth a visit.
Whether you’re considering care options for now or in the future, we are always happy to discuss how we may best suit your needs. We welcome visitors at any time, so feel free to drop in for a cup of tea and chat to experience The Dales for yourself.
Types of care
We provide person-centred care in a beautiful setting. Our Memory Lane community offers 24 hour nursing care to those living with dementia. Staff are dedicated to helping residents maintain their independance for as long as possible, but will also be there to give their assistance with many other things, should it be needed. We aim to make each resident's life as enriched as we can by offering activites that are tailored to their likes and dislikes.

Dawn Johnson
Hi, my name is Dawn and I am the General Manager here at The Dales. Welcome to our website!
I have a wide array of experience within nursing and management, including working in many areas of the NHS. I have commissioned new services and worked as management in various settings of the independent sector over a period of 10 years.
My role as General Manager has various facets, but all these centre round ensuring that residents’ lives are as fulfilled as possible, embracing independence, family and friends. I am focused on ensuring that good quality care is delivered in the way residents would like and I have an open door to all, encouraging ideas and suggestions.
I enjoy the variety that my role offers, and love being in a privileged position to ensure that we deliver the best care to residents and those people important to them.
I look forward to meeting you!
