Types of care

Your care in expert hands

Our 50 qualified nurses and trained care assistants provide 24-hour care for people with a wide range of nursing and personal needs. Clients soon see that we care in the fullest sense of the word. This reflects the personal qualities of our staff as much as their professional standing.

“I like the friendliness of the staff and the informality of the home. They’ll do anything for you and their patience is endless.”

In addition to general nursing, a number of our nurses have extensive hospice and/or palliative care experience, giving us exceptional levels of expertise in nursing people with progressive, incurable physical illnesses, as well as providing excellent end-of-life care for all residents. Some of our nurses also have qualifications in mental health nursing. This allows for expert advice and care for our residents with memory problems.

At Broomgrove we don’t cater for residents with progressive dementia needs or challenging behaviour.

We also specialise in short term respite care and convalescent care. We have rooms dedicated to these residents. Respite care allows carers at home to have that all important break or elderly people living on their own a short spell of recuperation from an illness. Convalescent care is ideally suited to provide support to those who require extra care between hospital and home following an operation.

Types-of-care---D04171528All nursing staff and care assistants are appropriately qualified and experienced to meet the needs of our residents, however complex, and each resident has a detailed personal plan which covers his or her physical, psychological and social care. The protection of dignity and personal privacy is paramount to all our nursing care which reflects the preferences of each individual resident.

Our ratio of qualified nurses to care assistants is high, almost 1:2, and our ratio of qualified nurses and care assistants to residents is also high at 1:4. Several teams of nursing and care staff are on duty throughout the day, with another team on duty during the night. A minimum of two qualified nurses are on duty at any one time of the day or night.

Medical services

We employ a well regarded, local GP service to make regular, routine calls to our residents. As well as extensive experience of general medicine, our doctors have particular expertise in palliative care and hold the Diploma in Palliative Medicine, the highest qualification that GPs can have in that specialism.

Rarely do superlatives such as “first-class”, “outstanding”, “excellent” and “wonderful” apply unequivocally. Broomgrove merits them and more.

Senior management are “hands-on” and always available to talk.

Broomgrove's care ethic is that everyone has a positive “can-do” attitude.

“Behind the scenes” staff, the kitchen, laundry, the garden/DIY, the cleaning staff all contribute to an upbeat environment.

Mum was able in her last years to feel secure, content, pampered even and above all loved.

Broomgrove responded sensitively to mum’s changing needs. Flexibility was demonstrated in regard to meals, outings and activities.

When mother died peacefully last week, Broomgrove provided us all with immeasurable support. Broomgrove’s dignified approach to mum’s final days was exemplary.

We would unhesitatingly recommend Broomgrove Nursing Home and can confidently say that our mother could not have wished for more in her final days. Nor could we for her.

Maria F (Daughter of Resident) Testimonial

My Dad moved to Broomgrove in December 2018, after a really difficult three months in hospital. He could not be in a better place. Despite the changes that the medical issues brought to his life, thanks to the quality of the care and the attention to detail showed by the manager and her staff. He quickly settled into his "new life" and he really is appreciative of the care, consideration and respect he receives. The home has a lovely atmosphere and an ethos that makes it very special. Everything is well organised, the accommodation is spotless and the staff are so kind and clearly committed and experienced.
It's a real pleasure to visit Dad at Broomgrove and to see him relaxed and smiling. Every day I feel thankful for the care and attention shown to him by the manager and her staff. Wonderful.
