Nursing Care

Care homes and nursing homes may slightly differ in terms of their offering and will depend on the needs of each individual resident. At The Hazelwell Care Home, we can provide a variety of nursing services such as medication management, wound care, help with activities of daily living, and monitoring of chronic conditions such as Motor Neurone Disease and Parkinson’s Disease. Our nursing staff also coordinate care with other healthcare providers when necessary, ensuring that each resident receives the care they need to maintain their health and wellbeing.

The below signs may be an indicator that you need to consider a care home for a loved one.

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

Care homes and nursing homes can perform a care needs assessment and provide advice on the type of care your loved one is best suited to. When making the decision to move into a care home, it is important to communicate openly with your loved one regarding their care.

The Hazelwell Care Home takes its responsibility and duty of care very seriously. We ensure the safety of individuals by providing adequate staffing levels, ensuring that nursing staff is properly trained and qualified, implementing protocols for infection control and medication management, and conducting regular safety audits and assessments. We have also implemented security measures to prevent unauthorised access and protect our residents.
