Nursing Home Care
The specialist nursing home provides care for 42 people. Our expertise
includes caring for people with very complex needs, challenging behaviours,
and other conditions with dementia-like symptoms such as Huntingdon’s
Disease and Brain Injury. We also support people with Learning Disabilities
who have developed dementia.
We provide 24 hour registered nurse coverage. A local GP visits the
Centre weekly and is available to speak to family members and carers.
The residence is organised around four wings, each staffed by its
own dedicated team. Each resident has a single bedroom and each wing
has a separate lounge/living area.
With staff support, residents are able to move freely around the
different communal areas and to enjoy the outdoor sensory and ‘footprints’
garden.
