Nursing Care

The type of nursing care received can vary depending on the needs of the individual. However, at Penrose Court Care Home, we can provide a range of different nursing services from medication management and wound care, to help with activities of daily living and support with physical disabilities, mental health conditions and sensory impairment. We also coordinate care with other healthcare providers and ensure that our residents are always receiving the right for them to maintain their health and wellbeing.

Every resident’s care plan is reviewed every six months, with family meetings and feedback included. This ensures care remains fully person-centred and tailored to each individual’s needs.

It might be time to consider nursing care when any of the below starts to happen:

• Worsening chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, or dementia
• Difficulty performing activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, or grooming
• Recent falls, injuries, hospitalisations or emergency room visits
• Significant weight loss or changes in appetite
• Increased confusion or forgetfulness
• Difficulty managing medications or complying with treatment plans
• Need for specialised medical equipment or care, such as oxygen therapy or wound care

Our nursing team is here to assess the level of care that is required and provide advice on the most appropriate type of care for you or your loved one. It is important when making the decision to go into a care home to communicate openly with your loved ones and ensure that the person seeking care is involved in the decision-making process as much as possible.

Yes, physiotherapy sessions are available at an additional cost to support mobility, rehabilitation, and overall wellbeing.

Penrose Court Care Home takes the responsibility of ensuring the safety of its residents very importantly. We achieve this by ensuring adequate staffing levels are provided, nursing staff are properly trained and qualified, protocols for infection control and medication management are implemented, and regular safety audits and assessments are conducted. We also have teh relevant security measures in place to prevent unauthorised access and to protect the safety of our residents.
