General Nursing Care
General Nursing Care is similar to residential care, but with a team of qualified nurses to give 24-hour support to people with medical conditions.
About General Nursing Care
Our highly qualified nursing teams are supported by a GP and healthcare practitioners, making sure that residents receive the very best care.
Whatever their care needs, personalised care plans are created for each individual which not only looks at care needs but also helps us to get to know the person, their interests, their likes and dislikes, their life stories and preferences so that they can truly feel at home.
With an emphasis on physical and mental stimulation, it is important for our staff to encourage residents to use their motor and mental skills at every opportunity – through conversation, external stimuli and the development of close and rewarding personal relationships.

How It Works
The Stages of General Nursing Care – What to expect
Before
You’ll have an assessment by a professional, that takes into account your abilities, needs and wishes. There will be involvement with your family if you wish, in decisions about intermediate care. This includes whether it will be suitable for you and which setting it will be provided in.
Start
You’ll be given information about the service and what will be involved. You’ll receive support to plan what you are aiming for (your goals) and how to reach them. These discussions can include your family and carers if you wish. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions.
Receiving
You’ll receive support from a range of people, including therapists, to help you towards your goals. How long the service lasts may change, depending on the progress you make. Any information you need to help achieve your aims will be written in a way that makes sense to you.
End
If you need ongoing support, you’ll be given a plan for transferring to another service. Information about other types of support available will be provided. You’ll be given information about how to refer yourself back to the service, if you need to.
