Nursing Care
What Is A Nursing Care Home?
A nursing care home is a facility that not only provides accommodation, but also administers dedicated nursing care and medication to residents who have complex healthcare needs. These residents likely require help with tasks such as personal hygiene, grooming and dressing, as well as support with managing their health and ongoing conditions.
Our nursing homes aren’t limited to the provision of care, but are designed to support your loved one in the enjoyment of hobbies, making new memories and feeling a sense of community. It’s our mission to ensure residents live their lives to the fullest and take every opportunity offered to them, in an environment that’s enriching and supportive.
Why Choose A Nursing Care Home?
Our nursing care homes are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and medically trained carers who have the expertise to manage and administer dedicated medical programmes. Residents who require nursing care may need their health to be monitored in several ways, including wounds, catheters and nutrition administration through feeding tubes (PEGs). Our primary aim is to prevent unnecessary hospital visits, to provide higher-level care, and to ensure the recuperation process after hospital discharge is delivered in a comfortable and supportive environment.
The quality of our care is what makes our nursing homes stand out from the rest. We provide a person-centric approach to care, and our staff have a vested interest in the wellbeing of every resident. We take the time to develop a unique relationship with each individual and value every aspect of their character. This helps us deliver the support and care they require to the best of our ability, respectfully and kindly.
Our nursing care homes are designed to emulate the sense of feeling at home, boasting luxurious surroundings and premium furnishings while remaining comfortable, cosy and accessible. Every resident is encouraged to personalise their private room with belongings, photographs of their loved ones and small items of familiar furniture.
