Nursing Care

Care homes and nursing homes might differ slightly in terms of the services they provide, and this is dependent on the unique needs of each resident. Here at The Fleet Care Home, we offer a range of nursing services which include the management of medication and wound care, assistance with activities of daily living, and consistent monitoring of health conditions such as cognitive and physical disabilities, as well as sensory impairment. Our nursing staff also collaborate with other healthcare providers whenever necessary, ensuring that every resident receives the care essential to uphold their health and overall well-being.

If you’re noticing the following signs, it might be time to consider a care home for someone you care about.

1. Significant weight loss or changes in appetite
2. Increased confusion or forgetfulness
3. Difficulty with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or grooming
4. Recent hospital visits due to falls or accidents
5. Worsening chronic health problems like diabetes, heart disease, or dementia
6. Struggling to manage medications or follow treatment plans
7. Needing special medical equipment or care, such as oxygen therapy or wound care

Both care homes and nursing homes can evaluate your loved one’s needs and offer guidance on the best care. When deciding on a care home, it’s vital to talk openly with your loved one about their needs.

At The Fleet Care Home, we consider our responsibility and duty of care as paramount. We take the safety of individuals seriously by ensuring we have highly trained staff at all times, infection control and medication management protocols in place, and by carrying out regular safety evaluations. Additionally, we’ve set up security measures to safeguard our residents.

At The Fleet Care Home, we require a 28-day notice period for residents receiving any of our long-term care types and are looking to move out. Our compassionate team are on hand around the clock to support you with your moving transition and answer any further questions you have.
