Nursing Care

Nursing care can vary depending on the needs of the individual. However, at Pottersway House, we can provide a variety of nursing services such as medication management, wound care, help with activities of daily living, and monitoring of physical disabilities and sensory impairment. Our nursing staff is also responsible for coordinating care with other healthcare providers and ensuring that our residents receive the care they need to maintain their health and wellbeing.

If you notice any of these signs in your loved one, it may be time to consider nursing care:

• Difficulty performing activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, or grooming
• Worsening chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, or dementia
• Recent hospitalisations or emergency room visits
• Recent falls or accidents
• 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 will help assess the level of care that is needed and provide guidance on the most appropriate type of care for your loved one. It is important to communicate openly with your loved one and involve them in the decision-making process regarding their care.

Pottersway House Care Home has the responsibility to ensure the safety of our residents, and this includes those who require nursing care. This can be achieved 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 also have security measures in place to prevent unauthorised access and protect the safety of residents.
